The Syrian Kurdish SDF has issued a statement Wednesday denying claims from Turkish state media outlets that they launched a rocket attack against civilians in the city of al-Bab, in northern Syria.
Nine people were killed and 29 wounded in al-Bab, including a number of civilians, in rocket and artillery fire on a residential neighborhood. Turkish media was quick to blame the SDF, or the Kurdish YPG, the faction which effectively runs the SDF.
Those reports were quick to declare the Kurds behind the attack, and to declare them both “US-backed” and aligned with the PKK, which Turkey considers a terrorist organization.
Turkey has been attacking the Syrian Kurds for years, and is quick to blame them any time violence breaks out in their occupied parts of Syria. Though the SDF would indeed be among the suspects in an attack like this, Turkish-held Syria is in a tumultuous enough state that it is by no means the only possible culprit.
The turkish islamist regime and NATO ally is thirsty for kurdish blood. And the “West” is supporting them.
Ain’t it funny how Kurds are bona fide Freedom Fighters (and feminists to boot!) but only when they are in Syria, and sometimes when they are in Iraq?
When they are in NATO Ally Turkey, those same Kurds automatically get downgraded to “terrorists”.
Okay, so who fired all those rockets and killed all those people?
It happened. It came from territory controlled by the Kurds.
The Israelis would have no trouble killing Palestinians for far less reason.
