Thousands of Arabs driven out by Kurds’ ethnic cleansing
The Times ^ | June 1, 2015 | Hannah Lucinda Smith

Thousands of civilians have fled their homes in northern Syria as Kurdish forces carry out what appears to be a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Sunni Arabs.

A source from one of the largest humanitarian organisations working inside Syria told The Times that the Kurdish people’s protection units (YPG) — the west’s closest allies in the war against Islamic State — have been burning Arab villages in areas of northeastern Syria under their control.

The Kurds were once Christian before being forced to convert to Islam. Lots of bad blood there.

Split up all those middle east hellholes cobbled together as countries by the meddling Brits. It was bound to happen eventually since these groups and tribes hate each other’s guts. Then build walls between them so they have to live within their own territories. They will have to content themselves with soccer instead of bombing each other.

It seems every hundred years the Kurds like to ethnically cleanse someone. For those who know history, you know what I am talking about.

You do know that exactly one hundred years ago the Kurds were the Einsatzgruppen of the Ottoman Empire when it came to the Christian Armenians.

Thanks MinorityRepublican.

See, that should warm some hearts around here. It's just part of the greater human tragedy that blah blah blah. Sidebars:

You are speaking to Americans. We know history. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

That sounds like sensible Jihadist cleansing to me. All Moslems are inherently dangerous to non-Moslems and to each other, including Kurds, but the arabs are dangerous to Kurds.
