The Heroic Kurds: America’s Mistreated Ally
By Robert Golomb
Kurdish freedom fighters, quietly allied with America, made international headlines this year when they liberated from the beastly rule of ISIS the Syrian city of Kobani in January, and again ten months later when they freed the Iraqi city of Sinjar. That rule which began with ISIS’ invasion of those two cities in late 2014 had been brutal: Christians and Kurds in both cities had been murdered and raped in countless thousands. Their liberation by the Kurdish freedom fighters one year later had saved countless others from the same fate. It was a liberation that, it was said by some at the time, was made mainly possible by the Kurdish/ American alliance.
