Last Wednesday, I attended an event in the House of Commons, entitled Jews of Kurdistan in Jerusalem. Prior to receiving the invitation, I didn’t know there were Kurdish Jews and my interest was piqued. I did know, however, that Kurds are not affiliated with The Muslim Brotherhood, are generally peaceful, and have been persecuted by ISIS alongside the Yazidis in Iraq. I was also aware that just recently the Kurds of Syria had reached out to Israel asking for protection from the Turkish backed Syrian militias.
