@FredAprim @SoranHamarash Were you at home with his wife and kids to claim he never spoke Kurdish? His dad's brother was called Sherko, a Kurdish name. "Kurdish cause" didn't exist back then because they were not repressed you retard, there was no need for a "cause".

This is getting too annoying. Why? Because there is no connection between Ayyubids and Kurds as Kurds like to present it. The Ayyubid was an Islamic family and not Kurdish. Saladin never claimed to be Kurdish. He never spoke Kurdish. He never fought for Kurdish cause. His full name is not Kurdish, but Arabic.

After WWI, colonial powers didn't just divide Kurdish land—they erased Kurdish history. Look at these 13th & 17th-century manuscripts: they explicitly call Saladin’s reign the "Kurdish State" (دولة الأكراد). Yet, @Britannica ignores this, rebranding them as merely a "Sunni Muslim dynasty." This isn't just a label; it’s the colonial erasure of a national identity. #KurdishHistory #Saladin #TwitterKurds #Historiography #DecolonizeHistory @History @WorldHistory01

@Councillorsuzie What the fuck does a Harrow councillor have to do with a PRIVATE MEMBERS CLUB at Oxford Uni. Do your own bloody job and keep Harrow safe you despicable troll

I'm glad he lost. What a despicable person.

@AmYisraelChai_X @azealiaslacewig Overwhelming majority of Kurds are practising Muslims.

@azealiaslacewig In short, Non Muslims living in the Middle East who are being brutally slaughtered by Muslims.

@LeilaniDowding @TheNorfolkLion @Tesco Says the woman with an Arabic name 😂

@ShooshPanda @TheNorfolkLion @Tesco I’m absolutely going to do that if I see it..

Shame on you @Tesco This barbaric practise shouldn’t be allowed in the UK, it’s inhumane and cruel.

@Amir_Abubaker_ @kurdishcat The Turks

@kurdishcat Shes not a terrorist? Who’s labelled her a terrorist?

@ChaiLife613 @united Jews feeling scared and threatened by a lanyard while Palestinians feel scared over actual bombs. Go fuck yourself snowflake

Today, United flight UA1658. Keffiyeh lanyard and terrorist flag pin. @united this is unacceptable. Wearing these items symbolize hate, not just Jews, but anyone who does not practice Islam. They might as well be wearing a naz* arm band. Your employee supports terrorism.

@thewebbie @OdieLisa What if that is the third temple?

@OdieLisa It will be replaced by a more beautiful brighter building. The 3rd Temple.

How ironic would it be if a missile from Iran lands on this monstrosity during the 9 days?

@EuropeInvasionn Convenient that cut off the English. He's saying we are not here to fight, we are here to protect ourselves and protect the house of God.

@ishiitakaaki @kurdishtina This is in Germany you racist scum

@kurdishtina これは日本での画像ですか。日本人が、迷惑なクルド人に困惑しているようで不快です。 今、在日クルド人が、日本で迷惑行為で嫌われています

Rojbaş Kurdistan halkı 🥰 Türkler siz bu Japon gibi hissedeceksiniz 😱

@DailyTurkic This is in Germany you prick

In Japan, Kurdish migrants supporting PKK are continuing to disturb the locals 🇯🇵

@melekveben71471 @3lfares @Esther_ps2002 Are you living in a cave?? merip.org/2020/08/the-ku… newlinesmag.com/argument/the-k…

Once and for all, here are my political positions: ✅I support Palestine ✅I support Armenia ✅I support Kurdistan ✅I support Assyrians ✅I support Ukraine ✅I support Kashmir ✅I support Uighurs ✅I support Copts ✅I support Rohingyas ✅I support Kosovo ✅I support Taiwan ✅I support South Korea ✅I support Cyprus (🇨🇾) ✅I support Western Sahara ✅I oppose the Assad regime in Syria ✅I oppose the current Iranian regime

@markushankins @3lfares @Esther_ps2002 Why are you equating Palestinians with Hamas? If you knew any Kurds outside of X, you'd know the majority support the Palestinians. Heck, even the PKK fought alongside them: newlinesmag.com/argument/the-k…

@3lfares @Esther_ps2002 Most kurds see Hamas as the same evil that they face in Erdoğan. This ”Palestine” you speak about like a whole unified people and country within a isolated context is somewhat of a imperialistic view of reality. Do you think the Palestinian Authority supports Hamas?

@Mitra_was_here @cebenevol Wuskitba

@cebenevol You’re definitely not a friend to us Kurds Caitlin. Nonsense spouting must be a paid shill, bringer of lies & division. You don’t speak for us. You bulldoze over us and silence our voices. We reject you and call you out as an agent of chaos. Be gone.

@YavuzSelim23_1 You see that tiny dark green part? That is all you can claim. You people need to understand the difference between the land you're indigenous to and empire.

@chadassyrian @KurdistanWatch Are you incapable of reading actual census data???

@chadassyrian @KurdistanWatch #Kirkuk has always been #Kurdish. No arabisation policy will change that

Analysis: the KRG Gas Exports to Fuel Further KDP-PUK Power Struggle The Iraqi Oil Minister stated that they have finalized an agreement with the Crescent company, and the natural gas pipeline from the Kormor field in Chamchamal (PUK-controlled area in Sulaimani) to Kirkuk is complete, allowing for the import of 100 million cubic feet of gas. However, he mentioned a dispute between the company and the KRG authorities over the gas delivery. Interestingly, previous reports indicated that the PUK had unilaterally agreed to export the gas to Iraqi government facilities in Kirkuk, while the KDP opposed this move, preferring to send the gas through its territory to Turkey instead. The PUK has reportedly blocked efforts to extend the gas pipeline to Duhok, fearing it could lead to an extension to the Turkish border, which would grant the KDP substantial power similar to its control over oil exports, despite the natural gas resources being largely in PUK territory. The U.S. factor is crucial, as the Iraqi PM stated they would end dependence on Iranian gas by the end of the year, and the Iraqi Oil Minister said Kormor gas would be 30% cheaper for Iraq than imported Iranian gas. The U.S. may have given the green light for the gas to be sent to Kirkuk. Notably, Erdogan also mentioned natural gas, largely in PUK territory, as an agenda item, despite Turkey viewing the PUK as a PKK collaborator and blocking Sulaimani airport from flights to or through Turkish airspace. It is important to note that natural resources have been at the backbone of the KDP's dominance in the Kurdistan Region since the civil war in the 1990s. One of the key reasons for that civil war was the KDP's ability to smuggle Saddam's oil to Turkey, a lucrative revenue source that the PUK lacked, granting the KDP huge revenues and influence. A similar situation arose in the 2010s with the KRG oil pipeline, but Bafel Talabani of the PUK appears serious about finding alternative ways to counter the KDP's monopoly over natural resources. If the PUK succeeds in exporting gas independently, it could help rebalance some of the power it has lost relative to the KDP.

@Lifeofassyrian Yeah, no. If you're talking about the Sayfo, that was not in Kirkuk. Would also be good if you guys acknowledged the massacres your own people committed against the Kurds in the 19th century.

@LemonCurdish I wonder what happened before 1922. I wonder if this has to do with genocide against my people 🤔

Unlike anti Iraq Kurdish nationalists I have lived in Kirkuk for some time of course this was long time ago but I remember when there was no separatists trying to take apart Kirkuk. Kirkuk is iraq 🇮🇶 with Assyrian roots but it belongs to all of Iraq 🇮🇶 not just one group of people. #Iraq #kirkuk

@BrotherRasheed Myanmar?????

I never heard of a Buddhist stabbing people while shouting “Buddha is great!”. Religions are not equal, some of them are peaceful others are dangerous!

@MattBroomfield1 That Kurds are not indigenous to Kurdistan

Friends, I'm writing a piece on stereotypes in reporting on Kurdistan, Kurds and the Kurdish movement. What are the worst cliches - and most stereotyped pieces of journalism and media? Please let me know your thoughts, particularly on any less obvious cliches - and share!
