The whole thing is quite interesting.

Wow Kurdish jews are mostly Armenoid phenotypically.

And why not? Everyone's all mixed up genetically everywhere.

I have some Kurdish friends whose grandmother converted from Judaism to Islam upon marrying. I really want to ask her or my friends about their Jewish connection but apparently it's rude and somehow they'll be offended. I think my family think I'll ask something obnoxious like 'How does it feel like to be Jewish?', but I am more interested in what their life in Kurdistan before they left. Anyway, thanks for the interesting link!

Where do the most Jewish Kurds live in Kurdistan? I mean in which area? And how many followers of Judaism are in Kurdistan?

The amount is negligible. The vast majority of of Kurdish Jews left Kurdistan in the 1950s by the Iraq. There used to be whole communities of Jews similar to the Kurdish Christian community. I don't know of the existance of synagogues in Kurdistan any more but in Slemani the old Jewish quarter called Julakan still exists but much altered.

Do you have a source ?

[mork1from1ork]

The Report of The Israeli/Kurdish Commando Teams, sabotaging an Iranian (Nuclear) "Facility",
is NOT *Confirmed*, at This time through a "recognized" Source....
<>
However, I am asking, the *opinion(s)*, of Kurds....
Respectfully asking for "opinions":
?a) Would Muslim Kurds, "Team" WITH, Israeli Jews, against a *Common Enemy*;
NO MATTER (!?) the Religion of Their *Enemy that they Share*??
in other words....
....does(?!).... Muslim Kurd side with Israeli Jew, against Persian Muslim....
OR
....does(?!).... Muslim Kurd side with Muslim Persian, against Israeli Jew....
and pretend that YOU KNOW, that The Persians WILL NOT REWARD The Kurds....

The report is not true and kurds are not crazy to participate with Israelis in such operation with absolutely no gains .

The answer to your question is "yes" and "no" and "no" and "no" consecutively .

In the world of politics there are no friends , just common interests and if it is in the interest of Kurds to cooperate with Israel against Iran then "I" believe they will do it as long as the common goals are underlined and it does not involve things like genocide . Kurdish cooperation with Israel and the west is fairly well documented , but sadly it never paid off . Beside Israeli's indirect involvement in the kurdish-turkish struggle in Northern kurdistan has left a dark spot in our relation , so you can certainly understand Kurdish skepticism

As for cooperating with Iran against the west or Israel . I do not believe that will ever happen considering Iran's track record when it comes to Kurdish rights .

Look , no disrespect here , but are we talking about the same Israeli government who is supplying turks with weapon that is being used to Kill kurds ?
-are we talking about the same Israeli government who captured Ocalan and handed him to turkey ?
-are we talking about the same Israeli government who is supplying intelligence to turkey Using Heron to capture of kill our peshmergas ?
-are we talking about the same Israeli government who So far have not made a SINGLE statement of condemnation against turkey for killing , imprisonment and oppression of Kurds ?

We Kurds have been backstabbed for 100s of years by those around us. The only ally we have ever had and have are the mountains. My enemies enemy is my friend, like Armenia, Greece, Israel etc. But that have never been fulfilled. Except once were kurds and armenians clans fought against the turks. But those countries just want to use us for their own interest. Before we can get any allies we need to unite our own people.

[alan131210]

well you guys need to know one thing , we could use Israel's expertise on developing our defense forces and equipping our Peshmerga with modern weaponry , so that arabs turks and persians think twice b4 attacking kurdistan , like the ally of Of Israel-Azerbaijan .

[Na,Tenagashtit!]

"The enemy of my enemy, is my friend". Old saying but still goes around perfecto!
I say; both have a cause, although the Kurd's one is more pristine, some might argue, still have the right to pursue it in all the possible means(Authorized Internationally and humanely)."Purpose justifies the mean" wak Mama Mica alet.

I neither saw nor heard this news my self, just attempts to drag Kurds into the spotlighh with Israel I guess.
Any cooperation between the two,however, in my opinion, should be contained and treated with utmost care and confindentiality. Let's not put all our eggs in one basket!Not again! Because "You cheat me once, shame on you. You cheat me twice, shame on me".

Bottome line is: I will go to war with you, against a common enemy, but this time I will follow not lead...
