Witness the plunder in Kurdish Afrin. Since Turkey's 2018 invasion, its SNA mercenaries have cut down/stolen over 2 MILLION olive trees. This video highlights the systematic destruction of the Kurdish region. A crime against nature and humanity. #rojava #Terrorism #Syria

This cemetery belongs to the Kurdish fighters who gave their lives liberating Raqqa — the capital of ISIS. These are the same heroes the world celebrated for destroying ISIS. Today their graves are being desecrated by Syrian forces backed by the new authorities — the very groups many call ISIS rebranded and normalized by the West. The US and Europe once armed and praised the Kurds for defeating ISIS. Today they support and fund the people responsible for this horrible work. Kurds did not fight for anyone — they simply shared a mutual enemy with the West: ISIS. Now the West watches in silence as the memory of those fighters is wiped out. This is what betrayal looks like. Kurds will remember this. #Raqqa #Rojava #Kurdistan #Kurds #Syria #ISIS

Ali Shamkhani, the hardline Iranian regime figure recently killed in a US-Israeli strike, helped impose strict and brutal dress codes on everyday Iranians. Yet, as seen in this leaked video of his daughter’s wedding, their own lives were completely different. The hypocrisy is staggering, and it's exactly why the Iranian people see the regime as their enemy. #IranWar #Iran

Conflict of Interest in Ankara While Tom Barrack serves as U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy for Syria, his actions raise serious concerns. He appears to align more closely with Turkish interests than with his duty to represent American policy and taxpayers. His stance toward Kurdish and Druze has also drawn criticism, raising further questions about whose interests are being served. At the same time, troubling scenes show children in Turkish schools being encouraged to tear U.S. and Israeli flags. This contradiction demands scrutiny. The United States needs representation in this sensitive role that clearly and consistently reflects its own interests—not those of others. #TomBarrack #USForeignPolicy #Diplomacy #Accountability #StateDepartment #Turkey #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #ConflictOfInterest

Who built the 12,000-year-old structures at Gire Mirazan (Göbekli Tepe), in North Kurdistan and why? My new Kurdish language documentary explores the mystery, purpose, and construction of these monumental sites. Much of Northern Kurdistan’s archaeological heritage was lost to the Atatürk Dam, but history continues to emerge. A recently discovered 12,700-year-old site near Amed (Diyarbakır) is now challenging our understanding of early civilization.

A vibrant Kurdish Jewish dance and song in 1960s Jerusalem. This community is one of the few to have preserved such a rich legacy—including keeping Aramaic, the ancient language of Jesus, alive through the centuries. #History #KurdishJews #Aramaic #Jerusalem

A disturbing video from Syria. A sheikh attempts to "save" a young Christian from "fire consumption" by pressuring him into conversion. This is the grim reality for religious minorities currently living under the rule of Ahmed al-Sharaa—the man leading the "New ISIS" transition. The historical irony is staggering. In the 7th century, John of Damascus (675–749)—a Christian who worked directly for the Muslim Umayyad rulers—wrote "The Fount of Knowledge," a work that openly critiqued Islam. In that era, a Christian could hold a high-ranking office and debate theology. Today, such a critique would be an immediate death sentence under al-Sharaa’s regime. Syria is moving backward, erasing centuries of pluralism. What is even more concerning is that this "new" Syria is being lobbied for and managed by U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack. A figure who faced federal court only years ago for his controversial foreign influence is now the primary architect of U.S. policy in the region. When diplomatic rebranding takes precedence over basic religious freedom, the world’s most vulnerable pay the price. The international community cannot turn a blind eye to the "theological correction" and systematic pressure being exerted on Syria's religious groups. cc: Human Rights Watch Amnesty International USCIRF Department of State UN Human Rights Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response #Syria #HumanRights #ReligiousFreedom #TomBarrack #History

Modern problems require modern (and slightly terrifying) solutions. These students in Baghdad really tried to "rebrand" their school on Google Maps as the US Embassy just to get it bombed and shut down. Talk about extreme measures for a day off! #IranWar #Iran

After 8 years, a family returns to Afrin, West Kurdistan, only to find total devastation. Occupation by Turkish-backed mercenaries left nothing behind: homes looted and ancient trees uprooted and taken to Turkey. Turkey remains a primary source of instability in the region.

The US 'Ambassador' to Turkey, Tom Barrack, is a disgrace for his shameful lobbying. He has no shame comparing George Washington to Ahmad al-Sharaa: "The history is the same as America's birth. George Washington started in the War of Independence with two horrible battles..."
