Hello, Robin. I’m a fan of your writing. Could you please do an article on why the world denies the Kurds an independent Kurdistan. Aren’t there more Kurds than Palestinians and haven’t the Kurds suffered far more than the Palestinians, i.e., Saddam Hussein gassed 10,000 in one week — isn’t that more than the entire number of Palestinians killed by Israel (for defensive reasons!) in 60 years?
Thanks.

OT: The Guardian whips up support for the boycott of Israel
In its ongoing campaign to delegitimise and destroy the Jewish state, the Guardian/Observer newspaper today published the following article by Neve Gordon:
BDS campaign wants Israel to abide by international law
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/11/israeli-academic-boycott-com...
Note that the article is not at Comment is free but is in the newspaper proper.
As part of a co-ordinated attack, the Guardian/Observer carries a further article today about the boycott campaign. This piece serves to provide support for Neve Gordon:
Israeli academics hit back over bid to pass law that would criminalise them
“An academic backlash has erupted in Israel over proposed new laws, backed by the government of Binyamin Netanyahu, to criminalise a handful of Israeli professors who openly support a campaign against the continuing occupation of the West Bank.
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel has gained rapid international support since Israeli troops stormed a Gaza-bound flotilla of aid ships in May, killing nine activists. Israeli attention has focused on the small number of activists, particularly in the country’s universities, who have openly supported an academic boycott of Israeli institutions.”

Good one, Mr. # 1 – I second it and assure it of my utmost support. Ever since I was 10 or 12 and may father mentioned them to me by apropo of something (in connection with the MidEast context. or was it the mythical Palestinians?), I’ve been fascinated by them ever since. Just today I’ve bought a Netional Geographic Hungarian edition because there is a report on Iraqi Kurds in it. I wholeheartedly support the Kurds (though not the likes of Mullah Krekar asylumned in Oslo who couldn’t be put out…) and I would want nothing more than finally get their own unified state from the (real) landgrabbers, (real) ethnic cleansers and (real) killers and murderers.
The turks brutally (really brutally, mind you) killed a couple of tens of thousands from the early 1990s to this day.
And unlike the enthusiasm of some, my support is not one-month old , not based on political considerations and have nothing to do with the “Mavi Marmara” episode.
After the ancient Assyrians are gone and no more, at least the Armenians and the Kurds must be survivors as indigenuos (genuinely indigenuos) peoples in their corner of the world and saved from expansive and relentless efforts of the Arabs, turks – and Iranians to a smaller extent.
P.S. One day on, I am still a bit devastated and upset that the Dutch lost the match to the antisemitic barbarians/primitives!
