KURDS - THE WEST DENIES THEM PROPER WEAPONS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES to thwart their independence aspirations - Now thousands of Kurds flee and pour into unfriendly Turkey as refugees


Many of the women approaching the border were not accompanied by men, some of whom are believed to have joined the fight against ISIS 
Always appeasing the Arab countries, the West would rather see the Kurds dead than allow them to establish their own country.  The same way in which the West wants to dismantle Israel in order to satisfy Arab genocidal aims.
 
Today 30 million Kurds live as minorities in Syria, Iran and Turkey and Irak.  The ISIS invasion has been devastating.  The West does not consider them to be worthy of a state of their own, and not worthy of Western weapons to defend themselves. 
 
Please note that it was the Kurds that made an effort to save the Yazidis from complete genocide by ISIS, while the West did nothing.  
 
THE DAILY MAIL:
  • An estimated 3,000 ethnic Kurds fled advancing ISIS armour and approached the Syrian-Turkish border 
  • ISIS captured 20 villages in Kurdish controlled Syria forcing the mass-exodus as families were forced to flee
  • Turkey allowed the refugees cross the border after it received reports of the scale of the ISIS advance
  • Refugees said their homes had been completely destroyed during the intense ISIS artillery bombardment 

  • Men women and children took whatever belongings they could carry and fled from the heavily armed ISIS terrorists who were advancing with tanks and artillery 
     
    Families pleaded with border guards for any form of assistance as people looked distressed despite only being a few steps from safety

    Will the US help the Kurds fight ISIS?
     
    The New Yorker - What can be done? For starters, the U.S. can help the one group that is trying hardest to resist ISIS: the Kurds. The Kurds, who occupy a large swath of northeastern Iraq, now stand face to face with ISIS across a six-hundred-mile frontier.
     
    The Kurds are among America’s best friends in the Middle East; they are pro-Western, largely secular, and largely democratic.
     
    Since 1991, when Saddam Hussein’s latest attempt to launch a genocidal campaign against them was thwarted by the United States, the Kurds have more or less governed themselves.
     
    During the American war, from 2003 to 2011, not a single American soldier was killed in the Kurdish region.
     
    The Kurds regard themselves as culturally and linguistically apart from the Arabs—Sunni and Shia—who inhabit the rest of Iraq. These days, fewer and fewer Kurds even know how to speak Arabic.
     
    And that’s the problem, at least according to the United States. Since 2003, American policy toward Kurdistan has been “one Iraq.” That is, no matter how friendly the Kurds are, no matter how pro-Western, American policy has been to keep Iraq together. That means: don’t do anything that helps the Kurds too much, lest they break away from Iraq and declare independence, which is most what most Kurds want.

    THE US COALITION AGAINST ISIS IS AN EMPTY SHELL - Five reasons why -
    The Coalition is also weakened by its reluctance to arm the Kurds, the best anti-ISIS fighters in the region, because they are afraid of Kurds' aspirations for independence
