As a Kurd, I want to know from the State of Israel;

Why is Israel allied with the Turkish military? Why does Israel
support the Turkish forces in murdering Kurdish civilians? Why does
Israel provide unmanned aerial vehicles, intelligence, and equipment
used by the Turks to attack the Kurdish liberation movement, capture,
torture, murder our freedom fighters? Why does Israel participate
in the Turkish crimes against humanity? Why does Israel support the
Turkish military dictatorship and thus a status quo that is barbaric,
criminal, genocidal? Why does Israel support the Turkish propaganda,
tyranny, fascism?

What are the benefits of this partnership for Israel? Why does
Israel value an alliance with a state which is Islamic, which has
traditionally, emotionally, religiously always sided with the
Palestinian Muslims? Why does it believe in a friendly Turkish
state which actually permits and supports anti-Israel, anti-Jewish
propaganda in its schools, media, mosques? Are the Jews still dhimmis
of the Turks, as they were under the Ottomans? Is Israel afraid of
Turkey? Has Ankara perhaps threatened you, forced you to cooperate?

Or is Israel simply following US guidelines for maintaining Western
"strategic interests" in the Middle East? Why did Israeli governments
and Jewish organizations in the USA help prevent, on behalf of the
Turkish regime, the recognition of the Armenian genocide by Senate
and Congress? Why is the genocide, after nine decades of proven facts
and documentation, still not been recognized by your own parliament?

Isn’t that a shame for the State of Israel and for all those conscious
of the Shoah? How can Israel complain about Ahmadinejad’s statement
of the Holocaust being a myth when at the same the Jewish parliament
refuses to recognize the Armenian genocide? Shouldn’t Israel be
different from other nations? Shouldn’t Israel be a beacon of moral
conscious, truth, hope, and justice for the world? Why is Israel
engaged in double games and double-standards of realpolitik?

But what really is Israel’s gain in all of this? In what ways does
Israel profit from collaborating with the Turkish regime and military,
a state which denies the existence and rights of 30 million people,
which is suppressing their identity, language, and culture, which
is burning and bombarding their villages, which is humiliating,
terrorizing, murdering innocent men, women, and children just because
they are Kurds who want to live as free Kurds. Don’t the Jews have any
empathy at all for the suffering of a defenceless people? Why is there
no word of condemnation from Israel about the Turkish atrocities and
crimes? Why is Israel silent? Is it just (weapons) business as usual,
are profits more important than human life?

At least why doesn’t Israel remain neutral, why is it engaged on the
Turkish side? Does Israel hope the Turks will be on their side in case
of war with Iran? Don’t the Jews know that the Turkish Muslims will
not fight another Muslim state that has the same strategic interests
in the region, which is the domination over the Kurds, occupation
and exploitation of Kurdish lands? Don’t they know that the Turkish
and Iranian regimes have agreements on that and are cooperating for
decades? Do the Jews really believe that their purpose is served by
supporting a state of terror and crime, and that this will lead to
more security in their neighbourhood, to peace with the Arabs?

Why help bomb a movement that truly strives for freedom and democracy,
that could be a natural ally of Israel?

What are Israel’s reasons for a pact with the Devil?
