Kurdish-controlled regions approve federal system

[Sally]

Even though the Kurds certainly deserve their own state, the others involved in this will probably deny them a state. In fact, Syria has already said no.

Kurds hold a banner during a demonstration against the exclusion of the Syrian Kurds from the Geneva talks, in the northeast Syrian Kurdish city of Qamishli. The banner reads "No solution for Syria, in the future, without the Kurds".

The vote to unite three Kurdish-controlled provinces appears aimed at creating a self-run entity within Syria.

Syria’s Kurdish-controlled northern regions voted to seek autonomy under a federal system on Thursday, angering both the Damascus government and neighbouring power Turkey with a move that could complicate new U.N.-backed peace talks.

The vote to unite three Kurdish-controlled provinces appears aimed at creating a self-run entity within Syria, a status that Kurds have enjoyed in neighbouring Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003.

The proclamation is nevertheless an open challenge to many of the sides in Syria's 5-year-old civil war, as well as their international sponsors, who have mainly been battling for control of what they say must remain a unified state.

Bias. When Natanyahu speaks out for a Kurdish state, you can be heard parroting him, that´s all here.

Hah? Palestinian is an invented name for an invented people as of 1960's. During the last 700 years the Ottoman MUSLIMS ruled the land, they did not recognize a "Palestine" or "Palestinian people".

The usual Hasbara propaganda as spouted by the propaganda queen.

The Palestinian Delegation in London corresponds with the British Secretary of State for the Colonies in 1922 (not 1960.) LOL One wonders why these people spout propaganda when it is so easily debunked by source documentation from official archives.

"HOTEL CECIL,
London, W.C.,
February 21st, 1922.
Sir,
We wish to express our thanks to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, for his courtesy in allowing us to see the draft of a proposed Palestine Order in Council embodying a scheme of Government for Palestine, and to discuss the same in our capacity of representatives of the Arab People of Palestine.

  We would, therefore, submit the following observations:—

Whilst the position in Palestine is, as it stands to-day, with the British Government holding authority by an occupying force, and using that authority to impose upon the people against their wishes a great immigration of alien Jews, many of them of a Bolshevik revolutionary type, no constitution which would fall short of giving the People of Palestine full control of their own affairs could be acceptable.
If the British Government would revise their present policy in Palestine, end the Zionist con-dominium, put a stop to all alien immigration and grant the People of Palestine — who by Right and Experience are the best judges of what is good and bad to their country — Executive and Legislative powers, the terms of a constitution could be discussed in a different atmosphere. If to-day the People of Palestine assented to any constitution which fell short of giving them full control of their own affairs they would be in the position of agreeing to an instrument of Government which might, and probably would, be used to smother their national life under a flood of alien immigration.

We, therefore, hold that the proposed constitution is wholly unsatisfactory, because:—........

• 
  (a) In the preamble to the Palestine Order in Council "the declaration of November 2nd, 1917, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish People" is made a basis for this Order; the People of Palestine cannot accept this Declaration as a basis for discussion......."

"Arab invaders of the British mandate of Palestine" communicating with the British does not constitute a Palestinian people or Arab Palestinians.

And in the same document the British say that there is no such thing as a Palestinian people or state.

It is a fact that Ottoman Turks who controlled the region, did not recognize a Palestinian people or nation for the last 700 years.

The Kurds who are not invaders like Arab Muslim savages are, on the other hand have been on that land for thousands of years.

Non-arguments are arguments too, right.
Btw, you get a prize for discussing the same over and over again with the same guys. You guys get the Spam Nobel Prize.

 

[Roudy]

I wasn't the one that brought up the Palestinians. Check again.

Topic of this thread is Kurds being able to rule their own land.
