The Victory of Terrorism in the 21st Century

The article is a strong critique of international policy towards the Kurds and the rise of the Islamic State. The author claims that Turkey has a deeply rooted hostility towards the Kurds, comparing it to Hitler's policy towards the Jews. He condemns Turkey's tacit support for the Islamic State in its attack on Kobani in 2014, while also attacking the support provided by the US and Europe to groups linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in Syria. The author describes the massacres committed by Islamic State fighters against the Alevis and Kurds, with the support of the US and Turkey. He points to the betrayal of the Kurds by the US, which had initially protected them. He also condemns the fact that Cyprus, like other European countries, has offered financial and political support to terrorist groups. The article argues that the international community, in its attempt to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria, has recognized and supported butchers and terrorists, ignoring their atrocities. The author accuses the US of spreading lies about combating the Islamic State, while in reality cooperating with it. The article concludes with a categorical statement that the victory of the Islamic State is a victory for terrorism, and that the international community is responsible for its rise and spread.
