The price for Erdogan’s attempts to silence Turkey’s Kurdish population will have to be paid for years to come

MISSOURI, USA: Every March, Kurds, Persians, Azeris, Tajiks, and others celebrate Newroz, the spring equinox festival of the new year. In the Kurdish version of Newroz, legends surrounding the festival focus on a mythical blacksmith of antiquity named Kawa, who saved normal people from a terrible tyrant. The Kurdish version of Newroz therefore comes replete with connotations of freedom from tyranny, oppression, and injustice.

After I published the post “The culprit: vegetative Ariel Sharon” I got hold of a frightening manuscript that kept me awake all night.
Amnon Kapeliouk published in 1982 a French book “
Investigation into a massacre: Sabra and Shatila”.
He gathered valuable information from a wide variety of sources both in Israel and in Lebanon. The manuscript describes in 115 pages details of the genocide that was perpetrated in the Palestinian camps in south Beirut from Tuesday September 14 to Monday 20, 1982.
I will end the review with the political and economic reasons for this mindless and bestial slaughter house tale.
