The Kurds....not so innocent...(Neither are the Turks)..See What Nahren Anweya Assyrian Christian has to say about the Kurds...
Bsd
Israel and the Trump Administration I hope, seem to have the end goal of saving innocent lives from ISIS and IRAN.
Basically, besides protecting ourselves by being proactive before the evil gets to our territory, we are engaged in fighting unadulterated evil, those who defy the 7 Noahide Laws by engaging in atrocities and crimes against humanity.
The 7 Noahide Laws: Universal Morality
What Are the Seven Noahide Laws?
It seems like the Kurds and Turks have their own agenda which sometimes kills the bad guys. However, anyone that empowers them must make it clear that the goal is eradicating evil and atrocities. If they too are complicit and engage in human war crimes themselves, they too must be held accountable.

What We Owe the Victims of ISIS
The Yazidi people of the Middle East deserve justice and respect, not just sympathy or pity, for fighting so valiantly with the West, writes Convivium contributor Susan Korah.
August 21, 2019
“She has a poetic sadness about her like a pre-Raphaelite painting,” Geoffrey Clarfield says with no hint of sarcasm or disrespect. He is referring to Nadia Murad, the reluctant poster girl of Yazidi suffering in the aftermath of the brutal ISIS attack on this minority religious group on their home territory of Sinjar, Northern Iraq on Aug. 3, 2014.
Clarfield is a Canadian anthropologist who advocates for justice for Yazidis, an ancient faith community in the Middle East that ISIS extremists seek to exterminate along with Christians and others they consider to be infidels. His comment brings to mind The Roman Widow and other paintings by Dante Gabriel Rosetti, the famous British artist of the 19thcentury school of art, of women with hauntingly melancholy faces.
An independent consultant for the non-partisan advocacy group, the Canadian Coalition Against Terror, Clarfield spoke recently at a gathering in Ottawa of the Canadian Chapter of the Philos Project, an international organization striving to transform the Middle East into a place of justice and equity for all religious and ethnic groups.
With the added lustre of support from Amal Clooney, the glamorous, brilliantly articulate international human rights lawyer (who has taken on the cause of Yazidi women victims of human trafficking) and her own Nobel prize win, Murad has an undeniable star quality, Clarfield said. Other Yazidi women have suffered just as much, but she has become, in the world’s eyes, the face and symbol of the Yazidis’ continuing ordeal, he added.
Yanked from her simple pastoral life and modest aspirations in rural Iraq, she has been suddenly thrust on the world stage and given the heavy burden of pleading for justice for her people in the assembly halls and corridors of power. The girl from the village of Sinjar in Northern Iraq who had never – until her dramatic escape from ISIS three months after her agonizing capture – spoken to more than a few people, suddenly became a media star. Microphone in hand, she is constantly standing behind podiums in the world’s most important meeting rooms. Hordes of international journalists relay her words and flash her image to billions around the world.
Seeking justice for the Yazidi people is also Clarfield’s mission. His perspective, though, is different from the message the world tends to receive from the image that Murad projects. She is the suffering face of a victim who has survived the most horrific of experiences including sex slavery, brutal beatings and torture. Clarfield reveals a side of the Yazidi story that has not been heard from Murad.
“Canada and the allied forces that defeated ISIS in their so-called caliphate in 2017 are obligated to help the Yazidi people, not because we need to pity them, but because we owe it to them,” he says firmly.
“Yazidis are not just victims (of the ISIS genocide),” he says. “They are our allies and partners in the war against terror.”
If the international community has come to their aid at all, it is perhaps because they are moved by images of Yazidi suffering and victimhood that the world tends to associate with the face of Murad, he added.
“But bringing them justice, giving them humanitarian assistance only because they are victims, is doing them a disservice.”
Yazidis were part of the fighting force when a major military campaign led by Iraqi and Kurdish forces, and assisted by a U.S.-led coalition, culminated in the liberation of Mosul from Isis in 2017. The coalition included members of Canada’s armed forces.
Before that, Yazidis had fought and had provided invaluable auxiliary services in the 1990 Gulf War in which Saddam Hussein, Iraq’s then-leader, invaded Kuwait. This war was fought by a U.S.-led coalition of countries including Canada that went to war in Kuwait’s defence.
Putting a human face on Yazidi contributions to Western alliances in wars fought in the Middle East, Clarfield relates the story of a Yazidi who now lives somewhere in the U.S. and is known as Alex, although that is not his real name. Clarfield learned the story of Alex when he met and worked with him on a project on Iraq.
“His story is typical of that of many Yazidi men and women who risked their own and their families’ lives to act as translators from Kurdish and Arabic to English and vice versa.
In 2003, during the second Gulf War, Alex and his brother got jobs as translators for the coalition forces. While working for them for almost five years, Alex observed that the Yazidi were essential partners of the coalition forces in northern Iraq.
“I do know that over the last 10 years many of our Yazidi translators were targeted and killed by ISIS in Iraq. It’s a tough job and not for the fainthearted,” Alex told Clarfield.
Alex is now an American citizen, and, like Clarfield, lobbies for the rights of Yazidis.
Clarfield said he has spoken, through a translator, to another Yazidi, a woman called Nidal who lives in London, Ont. Nidal’s tone and manner are, again, very different to that of Murad, he says.
Nidal is clearly angry, he added, and her demands from the Canadian government are very specific and focused on the practical needs of her community. They include a program to help reunite scattered members of Yazidi families, and opportunities for resettled Yazidis to go to refugee camps and identify their own people (since many are afraid to disclose their true identity for fear of being attacked by former ISIS fighters who have found a safe haven in the same UNHCR- run camp).
Bearing in mind that most Canadian Yazidis are recent arrivals in this country and do not have the literacy skills to complete the mind-boggling paperwork required to sponsor their families, Nidal would like her people to receive help with the application process. She has stated the urgent need for aid for her people – many of whom live in Iraq in makeshift camps for internally displaced people – from the World Food Program.
“Yazidis want justice and have a natural sense of justice, not necessarily through the Nuremberg style trials at the International Criminal Court that Amal Clooney has been demanding,” says Clarfield.
In his opinion, the world, including Canada, has a moral obligation to make amends to the Yazidis. This is what keeps him walking the corridors of Parliament Hill and knocking on every door until parliamentarians, political pundits and policymakers take action to serve justice and humanitarian assistance to these dispossessed and traumatized people.

FIFTH ANNIVERSARY YEZIDI GENOCIDE; “WE NEED ACTION, NOT JUST WORDS”; IRWIN COTLER, FORMER MINISTER OF JUSTICE
Bsd
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY YEZIDI GENOCIDE; "WE NEED ACTION, NOT JUST WORDS"; IRWIN COTLER, FORMER MINISTER OF JUSTICE. By Doris Strub Epstein
Hundreds gathered together in front of Queens Park under a blazing sun, on Sunday, August 4th, to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Yezidi genocide. Many of the participants were themselves survivors of ISIS's genocidal attack on this non Muslim, ancient people , indigenous to northern Iraq. ISIS shot, beheaded and burned alive over 10,000 men and boys. Approximately seven thousand women and girls were taken captive and used as sex slaves, bought and sold in slave markets. Young boys were trained to be jihadis and suicide bombers. In just three months, more than 800,000 people from millennia-old communities were forced from their homes. All Yezidis were targeted. Of those that fled, hundreds died of starvation and dehydration on Mount Sinjar.The KRG (Kurdistan Regional government) peshmergas, the Kurdish forces that promised to protect them, stood aside and allowed ISIS entry. They refused to give weapons to the Yezidis to defend themselves, and, said Sheikh Mirza Ismail, Chair, Yezidi Human Rights Organization International, many were killed by Kurds. According to Ismail, the Yezidi genocide was preplanned by the KRG, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. He claims there was an agreement between the ISIS leaders and President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region – Masoud Barzani. The KRG was to hand over the Yezidis to ISIS and in return they would not attack Kirkuk or the complicit Arab states. ISIS agreed to accept an Islamic State of Kurdistan under Barzani.Currently, wrote Geoffrey Clarfield in the National Post, former members of ISIS in Iraq have recently joined the KRG as an armed fighting group .Although the Trudeau government has brought in more than fifty thousand Syrians, less than 1200 Yezidis have come with government assistance. Ismail, has given documented, detailed evidence numerous times to government officials in both Ottawa and Washington, but Ahmed Hussen, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister, has ignored repeated requests for a face to face meeting. Despite publicly declaring that one of his top priorities is to bring the Yezidi survivors to Canada, Mr. Hussen has committed to bringing in only 1200 of these most vulnerable refugees – Syrian Christians, Mandaen, Bahai, and only a portion of that number are Yezidis.The persecution and suffering of the Yezidi people continues , even after the defeat of ISIS. More than 400,000 are currently languishing in camps in Northern Iraq, where they are abused by the Muslim authorities in charge, denied food and medicine. Daily they risk their lives fleeing to Greece via the Aegian Sea on tube boats. Since December more than 40 have drowned. Majid Abdal who lives now in Toronto, lost his cousins; five children and their parents."They cannot go home because their houses were destroyed and or booby trapped", said Ismail. If there was any justice within the UN international community, they would have ordered Barzani and his KRG officials to the International Criminal Court for tactical betrayal of the Yezidi people."Although ISIS is defeated and holds no territory, they continue their terror attacks on the Yezidi communities. Presently they are waging a campaign of burning their farms so that the few remaining Yezids still in their homeland, will have nothing to eat. The KRG claim they have been unable to stop them, nor have they arrested the perpetrators.The enslavement of Yazidi women by ISIS members continues in Syria, Iraq and Turkey, reports Clarfield. There are still 3,000 missing. He writes, "Yezidi girls and boys have been trafficked and sold to slave traders in Turkey, who then harvest their organs for illegal transplants to sick patients. the children do not usually survive the operations."Yezids in the UN refugee camps are terrified to identify themselves as Yezidi to the authorities They pretend to be Muslims, because most of their fellow inmates are former ISIS supporters. Also because the staff are either Kurdish or Arab speakers who have a long-time hatred of Yezidis.Speaker after speaker at the memorial, organized by the Mozuud human rights group,, recounted the horrors of the attacks. But no one except Ismail ,mentioned the complicity of the Kurds and other Arab speaking Muslims and that this is the Yezidis' 74th genocide at the hands of their Muslim neighbours.No one mentioned the lack of political will that the Canadian government has shown in the rescue of the non Muslim survivors. Only MP Peter Kent praised the lone vocal support of MP Michelle Rempel. He also criticized the government for not doing enough to combat terrorism.Keynote speaker, Irwin Cotler, former Minister of Justice, now Chair of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human rights, noted that "not one genocidal perpetrator has been brought to justice." He urged Canada to take the lead in an international tribunal.Although he told the audience "we need action not just words," he too omitted calling out the government's lack of action and identification of the Muslim, non ISIS perpetrators.Sheikh Ismail has these requests for the Canadian government: help find the 3,000 Yezidis hidden by ISIS families in Syria, Iraq and Turkey; bring the perpetrators to justice; help establish an autonomous region for Yezidis and other non Muslims in their homeland in Northern Iraq ; oversee the demining of Yezidi communities and help with reconstruction; rescue the Yezidis stranded in Turkey, Syria and Greece and enable their resettlement in the US, Canada , Australia and Europe.For Jews, these victims of a barbaric genocide, who are abandoned by the world, strikes a painful, familiar chord. They evoke the anguish of the Jews of the thirties threatened by the Nazi terror. Then too, the world was silent. They too were trapped with nowhere to find refuge. Jews were quick to respond, Soon after the initial attack by ISIS, Torontonian, Renanah Gemeiner formed Canadian Jews and Friends of Yezidis.Geoffrey Clarfield: "As Canadians it is our moral responsibility … while determining what more we can do to stop this ongoing annihilation of the Yezidi (people)."

Fifth Anniversary of Mount Sinjar Genocide
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE YEZIDI GENOCIDETO BE REMEMBERED AT QUEEN'S PARK Please stand with the Yezidi Community |
(Toronto, July 26th, 2019) The mass murder of more than 10,000 Yezidi people by fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) will be remembered on Sunday, August 4th at Queen's Park. We invite you to stand with members of the Canadian Yezidi community in memory of those who died in the genocide at Mount Sinjar five years ago. On the morning of August 3, 2014, ISIS fighters entered the Yezidi city of Sinjar, bent on total destruction. In the days that followed approximately 10,000 Yezidis were executed in cold blood – shot, beheaded, burned alive. More than 7,000 Yezidi women and girls were taken by ISIS and forced into sex slavery. Holy shrines were desecrated.
As ISIS overran Sinjar, thousands of Yezidis fled to Turkey. Approximately 15,000 Yezidi refugees, mostly women and children, now live in UNHCR camps in Nusaybin, Diyarbakur, and Midyat. There is a word for what the Yezidis have endured. It is genocide.
Five years later, the survivors of this genocide bear wounds that have not healed. Mass executions, the abduction of sons and daughters, the torment of sexual slavery -- these memories are replayed through every waking moment and restless night.
As new mass graves are discovered, hopes are cruelly dashed that missing relatives will be found alive.
On August 4, 2019 at 2:00 PM the Yezidi community living in the Greater Toronto Area and London, Ontario will commemorate the Mount Sinjar Genocide at Queen's Park with the largest gather of Yezidis in Canada. Among them will be survivors of the massacre and sexual slavery that followed.
The broader Canadian community can help the healing of these survivors by standing with them to mark the fifth anniversary of the genocide. A large and compassionate assembly on August 4th will show these men, women, and children that they are not alone.

Video of President Trump's exchange with Yazidi Nobel Prize Winner Nadia Murad. Months of Abuse Did Not Silence Nadia Murad. Ms Magazine.
Bsd
On July, 17, 2019, on International Justice Day, along with over 20 victims of religious persecution, Yazidi survivor Nadia Murad visited the White House.
This video clip of Nobel Peace Prize Winner Nadia Murad meeting with the President is incredible (even though the author Rachel Kennedy of this Ms. Post didn't see it that way)
President Trump was extremely attentive, empathetic and said he would look into her cries for help. She reminded me of Queen Esther pleading for her people.
My impression of this video was that President Trump was sincere and will therefore support and encourage any mission to help the Yazidis!
Nadia Murad mentioned that ISIS has yet to to be brought to justice and that she and all the Yazidi are still in grave danger, now even though she is technically "free".
She said that the refugee camps are dangerous for Yazidis
She said that Yazidis have no safe haven as Iraqi and Kurds forces have taken over their land.
And that here are still over 3000 Yazidi enslaved.
We can deduce for all practical purposes ISIS is still alive.
Kurds have not been held accountable for being complicit in the Yazidi Genocides (more than one). Today as well, they are complicit in ongoing atrocities against the Yazidis.
Are members of ISIS embedded in these Coalition forces, receiving American funding only to continue to perpetrate the most heinous of crimes against humanity.
It does seem to me from this video clip that President Trump is under the false impression that there is no ISIS.
The reality of what Nadia Murad is saying, with first hand knowledge of facts on the ground, is that ISIS has simply morphed into other Ethnic Muslim groups with the same sinister agenda of rape and massacre and torture and therefore have not really been defeated.
How can this author Rachel Kennedy assume that Trump wasn't attentive? ...because he didn't make eye contact? Can't someone be attentive without eye contact and fake attentiveness with eye contact?
The enormity of the atrocities towards her immediate family was clearly hard to digest. It's not that President Trump didn't care. It's because instinctively from the horror of it all, President Trump didn't want to believe it was true because he knew he had to take action now that it was on his shoulders. Once he digested what she was saying, President Trump said he'll look into it. Who envies or can even be critical of President Trump understanding the full weight of what lies on his shoulders to fight this evil?
From my take on this video, Nadia Murad felt President Trump was being extremely attentive because she was pleading for her people in the most genuine way possible.
The horrible anti-Trump slant Ms' author Rachel Kennedy put on this exchange is clearly a reflection of the anti Trump "Movement" of Ms Magazine.
They clearly are interested in blackening the President's name and motives, for their own nefarious agenda and they are another media front of Democratic progressive leftist politics.
Action and time will be the real test of President Trump's attentiveness to Nadia Murad.

If Tzipi Hatoveli is waiting for the UN to declare the genocide of the Yezidi people, she can probably wait forever so long as UN camps can't differentiate between ISIS and Yezidi refugees and treats them all as refugees.
Year after Nobel winner pleaded with MKs, Israel still stalls on Yazidi genocide. Visiting in 2017, new peace laureate Nadia Murad urged Knesset to declare mass slaughter of her people a genocide, but a bill to do so has gone nowhere and the government is silent

Exposing the Truth about ISIS. By Geoffrey Clarfield. The Annihilation of the Yazidi is Continuing, But We Say Nothing! NATIONAL POST
Bsd
The annihilation of the Yazidi is continuing, but we say nothing
BY NATIONAL POST
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: JUL 10, 2019
Kol haKavod to the author and newspaper for raising awareness!
I would like to raise awareness to this group and anyone who is horrified by what's been happening with the Yezidis of the following book as well!
The Terrorist Factory: ISIS, the Yazidi Genocide, and Exporting Terror
Patrick Desbois and Costel Nastasie, trans. from the French by Shelley Temchin. Arcade, $24.99 (214p) ISBN 978-1-62872-946-7
I am reading it and as horrific as the genocide and enslavement are, it is compounded with the intent of ISIS "Warriors" to capture, subdue and destroy the heart, mind and soul of the young enslaved women and children determined to turn them into ruthless ISIS warriors.
The testimonial interviews in this book by the authors, of the young ISIS victims of terror, corroborate what Geoffrey is saying in that neighbors and acquaintances of Yezidis were accomplices in the genocide and atrocities in 2007 and 2014 against the Yezidis.
It also describes in detail the ISIS operation, which is a well run, organized, methodical operation including theft of all property be it land or property and the kidnapping and rape and genocide of ethnic groups whom they don't value as human, valued as just another commodity.
It is a no brainer that Yezidis need their own safe haven and protected space and humanitarian aid going to them directly. The UN camps "refugee" camps are like putting Nazis and Holocaust Victims in a refugee camp with Nazi Sympathisers running the camp!
The question is WHAT IS HOLDING THIS UP? Where is the State Dept? Why have they not responded to Yezidi cries for help???? Why are we funding and enabling these fake UN refugee camps if they protect the Terrorists rather than their victims.
Each day is a life and death sentence for the enslaved Yezidis and the fight for the lives and souls of their children.
Where are all the Holocaust Museums? What's the point of having Holocaust museums and programs as a Holocaust is happening right under our very eyes? This is what inspired Pastor Patrick deBois to write this book rather than another book on the Holocaust.
Is "Never Again" just a slogan for the likes of Ilhan Omar and AOC and Tlaib to bash America?
Surely President Trump must be briefed and once and for all put an end to aiding terrorists who are conspirators to evil and instead hold them accountable for their actions. We need to find and put murderous "allies" on trial for crimes against humanity no different than enemy terrorist partners in crime.
Using ISIS to fight against Iran isn't working the way we hoped.
ISIS is not dead! It's mestasizing.
Isnt this reason enough to act without delay?
We knew of the atrocities from the beginning. Had we stopped ISIS in 2015 they never would have gained ground and territory.
Let us not repeat disastrous mistakes of the past sitting passively by as a Holocaust is unfolding.
Time to differentiate between those who respect the 7 Noahide Laws, the Laws of Basic Universal Morality and those who have contempt for these laws. That is the only way to save innocent victims and bring Truth, Justice and a G-dly Light into a world that is Blackened by Evil.

THE WEST ENABLES ISLAM JIHAD AGAINST THE ANCIENT YAZIDI PEOPLE

Khishman is a 14 year old Yezidi boy. When he was nine years old he was kidnapped and enslaved by ISIS. Last week, he was one of a group of eleven children with ISIS terrorists who fled to Turkey from Syria. They told the Syrian Democratic Forces at the border that the children were Muslims. But Khishman, bravely shouted, "No! I am Yezidi and the children who came with me are also Yezidi!"
Khishman's sister lives in the GTA. A sister of one of the boys lives in southern Ontario. When will the government of Canada finally allow family reunification for them and other survivors who survived this latest Islamic genocide?
According to Sheik Mirza Ismail who is based in Canada, Chairman of the Yezidi Human Rights Organization – International, as ISIS retreats in Syria there is an even increasing danger for Yezidis especially for the slave girls kidnapped by Muslim forces four and a half years ago. With the possible withdrawal of the US forces, the Yezidisi will be even more vulnerable than they have already been.
While Sheik Mirza was trying to warn of the increased danger to Yezidi in Syria at this time, and while his Yezidi colleagues were risking their lives to get information so that warnings could be made – no one was listening or willing to help. In recent weeks, one of Sheik Mirza's colleagues sent information from Iraq that he had somehow been able to contact a ISIS terrorist in Syria. This ISIS terrorist informed him that the ISIS fighters had received orders from high ranking ISIS officers to massacre the Yezidsi in Syria and that if they knew he was talking to him (the Yezidi), – they would kill him (the ISIS terrorist) too."
While the ISIS entering Turkey have been bringing some of their Yezidi slaves with them – not all Yezidi slaves have been destined for that fate.
We know of at least fifty Yezidi sex slaves who were not brought along with their ISIS captors. These Yezidi girls, some younger than 9 years old – were kidnapped years ago and used as sex slaves after witnessing their fathers, brothers and other family members being tortured and slaughtered.. Sheik Mirza has been trying to get help for his people for years. Last week the remains of beheaded Yezidi girls were discovered in Syria.
Also in the last month reports have reached Sheik Mirza of a Muslim man who claims to have recently escaped from being held in Syria along with hundreds and possibly thousands of Yezidi men. This Muslim man said that now these Yezidi are being held captive by the Free Syrian Army. A possible US withdrawal would make it even harder to maintain contact with and be able to validate information about the Yezidi.
Due to the lack of intervention by the non-Muslim world, the 2014 Islamic Genocide against the Yezidis and other non-Muslim minorities in the Middle East – is continuing with strength. Over 3000 Yezidi girls have been sex slaves to Muslim men since their capture 4 and a half years ago. Yezidis in UN and IDP camps live in desperate conditions, abused by the Muslim authorities and pressured into converting. Kurds working for the UN in Syria have been accused of kidnapping young Yezidi men and girls. In 2016 for example, about 50 Yezidi families fled from UN facilities to Mt. Sinjar despite the horrific conditions in Mt. Sinjar resulting from the lack of international help there. These Yezidi survivors said to the Kurds, "ISIS massacred and enslaved our People and now you are continuing the same. We would rather die on Mt. Sinjar."
Dalia J. was kidnapped by PKK in Syria when she was around 15. She escaped after a year and finally made her way to Mt. Sinjar. The PKK hunted her down and killed her. She was 17 at the time of her murder. We cannot release her name or picture for fear of danger to her surviving family members. Another Yezidi slave in the same situation was saved by a Yezidi family. She has put the information on video that was privately (in order to protect her) shown to governments and other organizations. She is one of many sources who tell how the PKK forced the girls to undergo medical procedures to prevent pregnancy so that they – the girls – could be raped continuously and also used – along with enslaved Yezidi boys -as child soldiers. The Yezidi report that the PKK said to them: "We give you protection in our camp so you must give us your children to fight. Any girls or boys who escape are hunted down to be killed in order to hide these actions of the PKK.
In the most recent Genocide attack of August 2014, over 5000 Yezidi were killed and over 7000 enslaved. One escaped slave witnessed ISIS leadership reviewing their records of enslaving 7450 Yezidi. The United Nations, Canada and other world bodies have declared this 2014 Jihad to be Genocide yet today the Yezidi survivors are living amongst Islamic enemies who continue the process of annihilating the Yezidi People and stealing their land which is the most oil rich land in Iraq!
For centuries, since the advent of Islam, Islamic forces in the Middle East have waged 74 genocidal attacks against the 6000 year old indigenous Yezidi People. In Syria since the beginning of the recent civil war, anti- Assad forces – Kurdish and Turkish – assessed that there would no opposition from their Western supporters, if they stole the rich farm land and produce of the Yezidi, killed the Yezidi or forced them to flee.. This is what happened.
In Iraq, prior to the 2014 Genocide, AL Qadea (which became ISIS) was partnering with the KRG (Kurdish Regional Government) to annihilate the Yezidi and take their land . In 2007 four trucks blew up in the centre of Yezidi communities killing over 500 Yezidi. Over 1700 Yezidi were injured and 70 Yezidi are missing till now. Perhaps they were enslaved! Before the attack the Yezidi went to the Kurdish authorities at the check points pleading for help because they suspected a planned attack with trucks. The KRG said that the trucks were bringing food for the Yezidi and that they – the Kurds – would protect the Yezidis! Then half an hour before the massacre, the Kurds at the security check-points claimed they were suddenly informed of an emergency meeting for which they had to abandon their "security posts." A Kurdish man was seen by the Yezidi, the previous day, photographing the Yezidi market place where the trucks would park and explode. He pleaded guilty to participating in the plan to massacre the Yezidi because they were "Infidels!" according to Islam. The families of the Yezidi survivors were told by the Kurdish authorities that unless they withdrew their criminal case regarding this Kurdish man and KRG involvement with Al Qaeda in this massacre, they – the Yezidi survivors – would not receive any compensation and they would have to leave their villages. Yezidi survivors were told to sign a blank page in order to receive compensation for their family members killed and maimed in the attack. Some Yezidi refused to sign and others said, "There is no help for the Yezidi coming to us from anywhere. . If we sign at least we can rebuild our homes"
The KRG terrorist, Talal Ali Qasam who admitted to working with Al Qaeda in this massacre was given sanctuary. He is a relative of a high ranking Kurdish politician. The KRG not only denied any collaboration with Al Qaeda but they used the attack to justify enlarging their military presence in the 6000 year old indigenous Yezidi land of Mt. Sinjar – from a few hundred armed Kurdish forces to between 10,000 to 12,000!
There is the well-founded concern from Yezidi leadership that an understanding has been reached in recent years among the Muslim leaders of different groups and countries, in and around Iraq, to steal and divide the oil rich indigenous Yezidi homeland especially for the purpose of creating a Kurdish state. Already there are two developed oil fields run by Kurds and Iraqis on stolen Yezidi land. One oil field is only one kilometer from the Yezidi's most sacred site of Lalish Temple. The other oil field is in the Yezidi town of Bashika.
Prior to August 2014 massacre there were 12-13,000 Kurdish forces in the role of protecting the Yezidi. in Mt. Sinjar. Days before the August 2-3 attack Yezidi fighters who had been fighting for years with the Kurds, were killed by their same Kurdish "comrades." Their Kurdish murderers told the Yezidi that they were being murdered to prevent them from warning their people that ISIS was coming and that the Kurds were not going to protect the Yezid. One of these Yezidi fighters called as he was dying to a colleague of the Yezidi leader Sheik Mirza Ismail in Canada. The message from the dying Yezidi fighter was: "The KRG will not protect us – they will betray us." On the northern side of the mountain the Yezidi begged for arms from the retreating Kurds. An order from a KRG General instructed the Kurds to kill the Yezidi if they – the Yezidi – stood in the way of the Kurdish withdrawal. The Kurds then killed three of the Yezidi men who had been pleading for arms and the other Yezidi in the immediate area fled. There are numerous reports of the retreating Muslim Kurds refusing to share their arms with desperate use against another Muslim!
In mid -July – weeks before the Islamic terrorist attack on Mt. Sinjar, Sheik Mirza Ismail – Chairman of the Yezidi Human Rights Organization-International – was in Washington with leaders of the Chaldo-Assyrian Christians , David Lazar and Father Joseph Habash. These Assyrian Christian and Yezidi leaders pleaded with the State department to protect the unarmed non-Muslim minorities in the upcoming ISIS attack which they knew was coming! The State department however said that they would not be taking any protective steps because the Kurds had promised to protect the Yezidi, Christians and other non-Muslim minorities. But by July 15 -at the time when these leaders were pleading for protection from Washington – ISIS had already taken over Mosel and much other land. Mt. Sinjar and Nineveh Plain still remained under Kurdish control.
The Yezidii and Christian leaders tried to explain how the Kurds had betrayed them before. They told of the 2007 attack when the Kurds had claimed that they would provide protection and then disappeared half an hour before the Al-Qadea attack. This is exactly what the Kurds did in August 2014. Prior to the August attack, he Yezidi on Mt. Sinjar tried to flee before ISIS – and were prevented from fleeing -even at gunpoint by the Kurds. Then in the early hours of Aug. 2-3 12,000-13,000 armed Kurdish forces melted into the night while thousands of ISIS came in to massacre and enslave the Yezidi. Less than a week after this attack Sheik Mirza was in Washington again pleading for the State department to protect the Yezidi and Christians and minorities in Neneveh Plain. There was a demonstration and many meetings with US government officials and the government response was that they would look into the matter. Meanwhile, ISIS attacked the minorities in Nineveh Plain continuing their genocide.
On the night of August 2-3 by 12:00 these 12-13000 armed Kurdish forces charged with protecting the Yezidi left without a fight. They did this just as they had disappeared from their security posts in 2007 ! In the Mt. Sinjar area at this time, approximately 10% of the civilian population was Muslim. Numerous eye-witness reports relay that approximately 80% of this local civilian Muslim population participated with ISIS in the attack right from the beginning, killing, raping and stealing Yezidi properly and possessions. Yezidi survivors tell of their Muslim neighbours and co-workers throwing Yezidi into huge bakery ovens, shooting and raping them.
Before the 2014 Genocide, according to the Sheik Mirza, Chairman of the Yezidi Human Rights Organization- International. there were up to approximately 2 million Yezidi world-wide.
There were 1.2 – 1.3 million in Yezidi living in Iraq, mainly in the areas of Mt. Sinjar and the nearby Nineveh Plain.
Now there are about 700,000 Yezidi in Iraq. In the Mt. Sinjar area there are about 100,000 Yezidi and the rest are in IDP camps including one in Mt. Sinjar.
Before the 2014 Genocide there were approximately 200,000-300,000 Yezidi living in Russia, 41,000 in Armenia, and 25,000-30,000 in Georgia.
In the 1990's between 90,000 -120,000 Yezidi left Turkey for other countries. The Yezidi in Turkey now are mostly recent refugees from Iraq and slaves brought by ISIS and their supporters. In the last 6 months according to an escaped slave who learned this from her ISIS captors – 400-600 young Yezidi children have been brought in by ISIS fleeing Syria. A few days ago 11 Yezidi children were rescued as their ISIS captors entering Turkey claiming the children were Muslim as noted above. It is difficult to know the number of Yezidi in Turkey now because many Yezidi are in towns and living in fear of the great danger to them in Turkey.
There were about 100,000 Yezidi in Syria before 2014. Prior to 2012, there had been up to 400,000-500,000 Yezidi. The Yezidi living in Syria prior to 2012 were mostly farmers in and around Afrin Aleppo and Hassakeh. Various Muslim Rebel forces, especially Al-Nusri, Sunni Arabs and Kurds, attacked the Yezidi from 2012 forcing the Yezidi to convert, and to vacate their land and possessions. Many Yezidi were killed by these various Muslim forces as they – the Yezidi – tried to flee. Many Yezidi had excellent land and livestock. In Afrin the Yezidi were excellent olive farmers. Most Yezidi fled to Turkey, Lebanon and European countries. There are about 15,000 Yezidi in Syria now,
Despite the acknowledgement of the Genocide by the UN and various countries, there has been very little effort to protect and help the Yezidi, Chaldo-Assyrian Christians and other non-Muslim minorities. In the Middle East and also in countries where Yezidi have fled, they continue to suffer largely alone and helpless.
In Syria, if there were to be a US withdrawal of forces, the Yezidi Rescue Committee Executive Director, Geoffrey Clarfield, fears that we may see the Turks enter the border area between Syria and Turkey where the US were centered. Mr. Clarfield, a Canadian scholar and leader on behalf of Yezidi human rights, states that protections must be guaranteed for the Yezidi and other non-Muslim minorities by the countries involved who have diplomatic relations with the United States.
In Canada, a very small number of Yezidis have been welcomed compared to a huge numbers of Muslims who were enabled to enter as refugees yet even this tiny group of survivors cannot find protection here. Already three Yezidi women have seen their ISIS tortures in the GTA. Yezidi in the GTA are too afraid to go into the public, even to plead for their daughters who are being tortured in slavery.
Sheik MIrza Ismail conveys the Yezidi horror and the need for the international intervention:
"For the Yezidi and Assyrian Christians to survive – it will only happen if multinational force protects us in our land as in 1991 when a multinational force created a fly free zone . The Coalition forces protected Kurdish fighters and refugees, dropping soldiers from planes and dropping the best food to refugees including whiskey. I was there.
Now in the four and half years of genocide, there are no solders, no land protection and often not a crust of bread .The only hope for Yezidi and Chaldo-Assyrians and non-Muslims is if a multinational force protects an autonomous region in our indigenous land especially including our most holy lands which are firstly Lalish anTHE d secondly Mt Shingal (also referred to as Mr, Sinjar.) If we loose our holy lands – Lalsih and Mt. Sinjar – we will die as a People!. If our holy land is gone, Yezidi can not survive.
Yezidi have lived in this area since the time of Noah's ark. This is the oldest place on the planet. Throughout these long centuries they were always able to protect themselves and to also help their neighbours. For example, in the 1917 Ottoman Massacres, the Yezidi in Shingal gave safe haven to 20,000 Christian Assyrian and Armenians and when their children were grown and ready to marry, the Yezidi helped them so that their children could marry and start new families.
We must join the Yezidi Human Rights Organization- International to demand that the Canadian Government finally bring about the immediate family reunification of the small number of survivors who our country has allowed to enter. Shekh Mirza Ismail: "I hope our Canadian government does not make the same mistakes where the real victims are ignored while others benefit instead, just because of political interests."
