“In the current situation and the chaos we are living in, the only ones who can offer guarantees are the United States or the coalition,” he added in a rare interview from Hasakeh province, which is still under Kurdish control.

Hamo denied that the YPG was receiving support from Iran or Russia, while suggesting a hope that Israel would intervene on behalf of Syria’s Kurds.

“Of course, we consider Israel a powerful state in the region with its own agenda. We hope that the same stance taken by other countries in the region towards certain minorities in Syria will be extended to the Kurds as well,” Hamo said.

Asked if he was referring to Israel’s stance towards the Druze minority last summer - when Israel carried out air strikes on the defence ministry, near the presidential palace in Damascus and on Syrian troops advancing on Druze cities - Hamo said, “of course.”

      I’m seeing Khamenei on the frontpage of every newspaper when nothing is going on in Iran while the Syrian junta is committing active massacres and nobody seems to care so that’s going well

        At this point, it should be clear to anybody paying even minimal attention that all the professed liberal values merely exist to justify western imperialism. And that’s what makes liberals far more deplorable than conservatives in my opinion. Liberals will always do mental gymnastics to rationalize invasions and destruction of other countries pretending that it’s really for their own good.

          I’m actually a tad confused on why they are dropping support for the SDF. Usually the US and Israel love infighting groups and dismantling these groups seems counterproductive to the organized chaos they wish for. It might be Erdogan lobbying against the Kurds in exchange for letting Israel take the Golan and whatever else they stole.

          I wonder if it will come back to bite them since the last thing Israel wants is a unified Syria. But the Kurdish seperatists are probably stupid enough to take up the proxy-millitia mantle for the US again whenever they are needed. They seem to love getting backstabbed by the US over and over.

            I think kurds served as a wedge when Syria was relatively united under a secular government. Now that it’s run by a jihadists, there’s no more need for them because the whole country is now splitting up across sectarian lines. Investing in kurds is just not worth the resources anymore. This was actually a pretty insightful interview on the whole thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqiBRc3NXMw

    LOL, this would be like all those people going on television getting paid by Israel while claiming to be Iranian & claiming they represent all Iranians, and that they want Israel to liberate the Iranian people by bombing them. Or Machado giving Trump her nobel war prize she got while claiming Israel was liberating Palestinians.

        He’s saying the Kurdish militias are not an organic group with popular support, but a proxy militia funded by the West which falls apart the second Western funding and military help dries up.

        I’m sure you did. Maybe ask the hundreds-of-thousands of dead Iraqi civilians what US & Israeli liberation is like.
