I am not taking a position on Americas decision to betray the Kurds who helped fight ISIS. I am just saying there is poetic justice. The Kurds abandoned the Yezidis whom they were supposed to protect in 2007 and 2014 to ISIS.
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY YEZIDI GENOCIDE; "WE NEED ACTION, NOT JUST WORDS"; IRWIN COTLER, FORMER MINISTER OF JUSTICE
Therefore, if we are so concerned for the Kurds, then surely the Yezidis, their men women and children should have an autonomous protected safe zone in their indigenous homeland of thousands of years. They too allied with the US to fight ISIS.
Their land, Nineveh Plain and Mount Sinjar is very desirable as it lies on rich oil fields and/or on high ground. The Kurds as well as other Ethnic local groups were complicit in the genocide of the Yezidis by ISIS not to mention stealing everything from them...their physical bodies and their soul indoctrinating the Yezidi children to turn on their own to become become Jihad ISIS warriors and the women to be at the mercy of their slave masters with long term acute post trauma if and when they were ransomed or escaped.
ISIS should be held accountable tried and prosecuted together with their accomplices for human atrocities. Yes, Kurds as well as other Islamic factions were complicit with ISIS. They must be tried and prosecuted in a court of law and held accountable as well.
Franky, I don't trust the Turks to pursue justice so I agree that genocide on the Kurds by the Turks is not an option. The Turks are pursuing their own agenda, not justice.
The question remains. Who will administer justice and conduct a fair investigation and prosecute? The UN refugee camps is staffed by those complicit. That leaves neutral parties perhaps the United States and/or Israel to lead an anti-ISIS coalition to pursue justice and provide a safe haven for the victims.
Will Trump step up to the plate or will he leave it up to Turkey who perhaps will set these look alike humans who behave as animals, free?
