It’s interesting to watch the outrage from some Persian nationalists the moment there is speculation that Kurdish forces could play a role on the ground against the Islamic regime. Suddenly the same people who claim to want ‘freedom for Iran’ panic at the idea of Kurds having any real power or autonomy. That hypocrisy says everything.
Kurds have fought and resisted oppression for decades. When ISIS was terrorizing the region, Kurdish fighters were among the first on the front lines while much of the world hesitated. At that time many of you praised their bravery. But the moment Kurds speak about their own rights, their own land, and their own self-determination, you start calling them terrorists.
You cannot have it both ways. Kurds are not a tool for your political convenience. They are a nation of tens of millions with their own language, culture, and history that existed long before the modern states drawn on maps in the Middle East.
Trying to smear Kurdish fighters as terrorists only exposes ignorance and deep prejudice. Wanting freedom from oppression, defending your people, and demanding the right to govern your own future is not terrorism. It is a basic human right.
If the future of the region involves Kurds finally having a voice and defending themselves, perhaps the real issue is not Kurdish ‘terrorism’ but the fact that some people cannot accept that Kurds refuse to stay silent anymore.
