      Less “forgot” and more “decided by European powers that it wasn’t up to anyone non-white to be in charge.” At least not in the British and French Mandate areas.

      Hard to trust the kurdish rebel when they are supported by Israel and the US. My fear is that they will become another protection for Israel

        No worries the US reliably abandons the Kurds the second it doesn’t need them. Every time.
