    The Kurds (the leadership) love having their backs scratched with a knife. It’s been the greatest impediment to their political rights.

      The Kurds are not remotely unified, neither culturally nor politcally. Very broadly speaking the syrian faction is aligned to the US and would love to be a kurdish Israel, the turkish faction are unaligned and struggle for liberation, the iraqi faction is basically a organized crime group, the iranian faction is pretty well integrated into the iranian state.

        Tbf even the so called resistance is split, hamas actually likes the rebels. (Israel is going to turn on them like they did to hamas after it did it’s job reducing the clout of Palestinian leftists)

          Hamas I think changed their stance IIRC. The guy that recently came out denouncing Assad, was disowned by Hamas and is a former member. I could be mistaken, this whole thing is messy. I wish they could all unite against imperialism then solve those other issues amongst each other.
