Kurds are indigenous (like Jews). They are only "rebelling" against the occupation and persecution of their people and identity. The Turks (Arabs, Persianss) are the occupying powers that control Kurdistan (except for N. Iraq thankfully). Kurds are friends of Jews. Let's recognize this and internalize it.

Kurda are fighting against oppression, occupation and fascism. However, Kurds are friends of anybody who are friends to them. And Israel has proven not to be a friend by capturing and handing over their leader Ocalan to Turkey back in the days. We, Kurds, do not feel anything for Israel's flirting in her quest to find a new ally in the region or to bug Turkey SOrry!

Instead of supporting other statess nations who like us need independence to determine their own future just like jews, Israel tried to appease and befriend the occupying power Turkey ( occupies Kurdistan Assyrians' and Arameans' land and also half Cyprus). Thats why karma/God has Turkey turn its back on Israel and embracing Hamas and slowly inching its way toward adopting a totally anti-Israel stance like iran and other arab countries. Give Kurds their land back. And enclaves within there to Assyrians and Arameans.

Because the very same statements you made apply to defenseless Palestinians who are suffering under your occupying power.

Those defenseless Palestinian Arabs are launching rockets to Israel from Gaza almost daily. If they don't attack Israeli civilians with their rockets and suicide bombers and recognize Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people they can have an independent state peacefully living side by side with Israel very quickly. In Fact in 2000 Camp David conference with Bill Clinton Israel agreed to it. As for occupation: There are no Israeli troops in Gaza. If Arab Palestinians do not launch rockets onto their Jewish Palestinian neighbors and live peacefully eventually the blockade also will be lifted. As I do recognize the fact that Kurds in Turkey have been mistreated and neglected, I have to say that PKK has followed a path of terrorism, murdering businessman such as the Sabanci family member by Fahriye Erdal and her friends, suicide bombs such as the Mavi Carsi and some buses, even creating forest fires I have no sympathy for the PKK and its leaders.

Gaza? What about West Bank and its 600 thousand settlers and the IDF presence in West Bank?

News flash your Arab friends (who by the way could care less about Kurds and forget who Saladin was) occupy our lands. Maybe Islam fills your head with revisionist stories of how we Jews are corrupted Muslims and everything you do is right, while everything we do is wrong, but there are certain facts on the ground. There are hundreds of thousands of Jews living in Judea and Samaria (try learning the original names of the land, not Turkish, Arab, or British made up names. There's nothing you can do about all those Jews. They're a fact. The Jews have done much more with a tiny plot of land than 22 Arab states have done with vast swathes of land. The same Arabs your honorable ancestor Saladin wasted his genius on, saving them. Good luck on your pursuit of a homeland.

Israel offered a Palestinian Arab state to Arafat at Camp David with 100% of Gaza 96% of WB Israeli land swap, capital in East Jerusalem. If Arafat had accepted there would be no IDF in WB now. As far as settlers? Whay can't Some Jews live among Muslims in WB safely? After all there are 1 million Palestinian Arabs living safely in Israel.
