The Kurds have taken in Christian refugees fleeing from both Sunni/ISIL and Shia areas.

Good folks, the Kurds.

Good folks, the Kurds.

Yes they are. Very good folks.

But are they good enough to form at least a loose Kurdistan-Israel-Jordan-(Egypt) Alliance.

It looks like Netanyahu is going to be seeking inroads and ties with the Kurds - and that’s a good move for Israel. And Israel helping out Jordan is a very good move, too!

The Saudis and Israel are going to be working together on this.
