IRAN: Rebel forces fighting proxy wars in Iraq

Pejak

A series of conflicts with insurgent groups along Iran's borders may be impelling Tehran to back its own allies in Iraq in what it regards as a proxy war with the U.S., according to security experts and officials in the U.S., Iran and Iraq.

Dozens of Iranian officials, members of the security forces and insurgents belonging to Kurdish, Arab Iranian and Baluch groups have died in the fighting in recent years. It now appears to be heating up once again after an unusually cold and snowy winter.

PJAK: the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) party declarations of the war stop against Iran
PJAK declared in their statement that they are going to stop the war against Iran so they can be free to help the Kurdish people in Turkey for their war against Turkey.
The Jaff people organization greeting the news as welcome sign that finally the Kurdish people starting to know that Iranian people are not our enemy.
Our enemy in the first place are the Arab imperialist whom they concurred our land destroyed our Sassanian empire, destroyed our heritage. Destroyed our religion and history, destroyed our civilizations, took away our pride and dignity and enslave us for over 1400 years now. The Arab imperialist did all that to bring us the Islamic religion as they claim but in reality their occupation did not have anything to do with Islam.
The second enemies of our Aryan (Iranian) people are the Turks whom they come after the Arab imperialist destroyed our country. The Turks are denying our right in the region they are working with the Arab imperialist very closely so both will take more and more of our land.
We said many time before we are not enemy of the Persian or any other Aryan (Iranian) people at all. We are the same people the Aryan (Iranian) are our brothers and sisters. We do not need to kill each other all what happened to us for the last 1400 years are the work of the Arab Imperialists and Turks whom they took the Aryan (Iranian) land.
We all should fight the current Iranian Government because they are an agent and extension of the Arab Imperialist no more no less. We should join the Iranian liberation movement when we fight the current Iranian regime but not alone as the Kurdish war against the Iranian people.
We at the Jaff organization appreciate PJAK decision for stopping the war against the Iranian people. We ask you to join the Iranian liberation movement now.
Long live the struggle of Aryan (Iranian) people for justice and liberty in our homelands. Death to the Arab Imperialist and their agent and allied in the region.

Barzani and Talabani Kurd in Iraq are against the interest of Kurdish nation in the Middle East

In the article below we published short history of the Kurdish people and their mistake in the past.
We are reminding our Aryan brother and sister specially Kurdish people again that people like
Mr. Barzani and Mr. Talabani are looking for their own interest only. They are similar to the Kurdish
tribal leaders before the start of the “Battle of Chaldiran” . Many Kurdish tribal leaders allied
themselves with the opposite camp for their own interest which in the end divided Kurdish people
into to two groups.

The Kurds are divided between four to five countries now. We wrote many articles on the subject and
Hope that the Aryan (Iranian) people will be united especially Kurdish people should be aware about
Those corrupt leaders in Kurdistan. They are in the market to sale you always. Try to get united with
Other Aryan (Iranian) people as soon as possible to get out of this misfortune life in Kurdistan.

Stop the separatist war join the war of liberation with the Aryan (Iranian) people for better future.

The Kurdish Nation’s Past and Present Dilemma

History is the best guide for any nation on Earth, especially for people like the Kurds in the Middle East, to review before making any decisions on which direction to go. In the old days we used to be a very powerful nation during the Medes, Achaemenids, Seleucids, Parthians, and the Sassanian Empires. This was especially true during the Sassanian Empire during which we ran the Sassanian Government and military. The Kurds became part of the royal family by marriage and the capital of the Empire was in the Kurdistan region.

The Arab invasion of the Sassanian Empire under the pretext of teaching the Islamic religion destroyed the hopes and aspirations of all the Aryan nations in Middle East, especially the Kurdish nation. The Arab nationalists destroyed our culture, religion, and personality while simultaneously dividing the unity of the Aryan nations which remain divided to this day.

The Kurds experimented with every ideology in the region including Sunni Islam (Ottoman Empire in Turkey), Shitte Islam (Safavid Empire in Iran), communism, democracy and socialism. You name it, they have tried to use it for liberation and to gain back the dignity of the nation. So far they have all failed and yet they keep repeating the failed experiments over and over. Every time they have end up being second or third class citizens of the countries they live.

The Kurds have had a few successes whenever they worked with other Aryan (Iranian) nations in the past. History informs us that when we are united with other Aryan (Iranian) nations, we Kurds are very successful. We can look at Nader Shah, founder of Afshar Dynasty shah of Iran (1736–1747); Karim Khan Zand (1705-1779), founder of the Zand dynasty in Iran; and Dr. Karim Sanjabi (1904-1995), an Iranian liberal political leader of the 20th century. We need to come to realize that our survival is connected to other Aryan (Iranian) nations in the region.

The Kurds in the northern part of Kurdistan allied themselves with Sunni Islam (Ottoman Empire in Turkey) against Shitte Islam (Safavid Empire in Iran). Even the founder of the Safavid dynasty’s origin was Kurdish. The betrayals of their own people for personal gain are haunting the Kurdish population under the iron rule of the Turks in Turkey now. The people should learn from their past mistakes. When you sell out your own people sooner or later it will come back to haunt you.

In the modern day the Kurdish nations are measuring up the other nations around them. Like the President of the USA said, are you with me or against me? Maybe the US Government can get away with such statements because they are a very strong nation. In contrast, the Kurdish nations are very weak and hopeless in the Middle East, they should be careful with other nation’s interests.

The USA, Israel, European Union, Russians and many other nations protect their own interests. They are not on the payroll of the Kurdish nations, to listen to their grievances and serve the Kurds interest. They are dealing with Turkey and other nations based on their own interests. Like once Dr. Henry Kissinger said once, we are not in the charity business.

Four or five countries divide the Kurds now. We are the people with Aryan (Iranian) origin. Our nations are part of the larger Aryan nation in the Middle East. The Kurds, Persians and other Aryan (Iranian) nations are under pressure by the Arab Imperialist through the use of Islamic religion as a tool for superiority and dominations. They are under pressure by the re-emergence of the Turkish Imperialists whose goal is to dominate all of the Aryan land through the use of the Turkish Torani doctrine.

It is logical for the Kurdish nation, the Afghani nation, and the Persian nation to get united for their survival. As one nation you can be free from the occupation and annihilation by other nations around them. When you are united then other people will think twice before taking your land. This is an idea to think about it for your own good.

Sincerely,

Jaff Sassani

Israel and Turkey cooperation in the Middle East

The Kurdish people complain about the relationship between Turkey and Israel. In this article below published in the Conservative voice of America one of the handler by name of
Mr. Axin Arbili who works for Mr. Masud Barzani the leader Of PDK
in Iraqi Kurdistan trying to convince the American public and Jewish people around the world that the Kurd under
Mr. Barzani are much reliable partner than Turkey. Please
read Mr. Axin article and read our respond too.

Some Questions to Israel

Israel is providing equipment and intelligence to the Turkish army which helps them to fight the Kurdish freedom and democracy movement. Why is Israel doing that?

As a Kurd, I want to know from the State of Israel;

Why is Israel allied with the Turkish military? Why does Israel support the Turkish forces in murdering Kurdish civilians? Why does Israel provide unmanned aerial vehicles, intelligence, and equipment used by the Turks to attack the Kurdish liberation movement, capture, torture, murder our freedom fighters? Why does Israel participate in the Turkish crimes against humanity? Why does Israel support the Turkish military dictatorship and thus a status quo that is barbaric, criminal, genocidal? Why does Israel support the Turkish propaganda, tyranny, fascism?

What are the benefits of this partnership for Israel? Why does Israel value an alliance with a state which is Islamic, which has traditionally, emotionally, religiously always sided with the Palestinian Muslims? Why does it believe in a friendly Turkish state which actually permits and supports anti-Israel, anti-Jewish propaganda in its schools, media, mosques? Are the Jews still dhimmis of the Turks, as they were under the Ottomans? Is Israel afraid of Turkey? Has Ankara perhaps threatened you, forced you to cooperate?

Or is Israel simply following US guidelines for maintaining Western “strategic interests” in the Middle East? Why did Israeli governments and Jewish organizations in the USA help prevent, on behalf of the Turkish regime, the recognition of the Armenian genocide by Senate and Congress? Why is the genocide, after nine decades of proven facts and documentation, still not been recognized by your own parliament? Isn’t that a shame for the State of Israel and for all those conscious of the Shoah? How can Israel complain about Ahmadinejad’s statement of the Holocaust being a myth when at the same the Jewish parliament refuses to recognize the Armenian genocide? Shouldn’t Israel be different from other nations? Shouldn’t Israel be a beacon of moral conscious, truth, hope, and justice for the world? Why is Israel engaged in double games and double-standards of realpolitik?

But what really is Israel’s gain in all of this? In what ways does Israel profit from collaborating with the Turkish regime and military, a state which denies the existence and rights of 30 million people, which is suppressing their identity, language, and culture, which is burning and bombarding their villages, which is humiliating, terrorizing, murdering innocent men, women, and children just because they are Kurds who want to live as free Kurds. Don’t the Jews have any empathy at all for the suffering of a defenceless people? Why is there no word of condemnation from Israel about the Turkish atrocities and crimes? Why is Israel silent? Is it just (weapons) business as usual, are profits more important than human life?

At least why doesn’t Israel remain neutral, why is it engaged on the Turkish side? Does Israel hope the Turks will be on their side in case of war with Iran? Don’t the Jews know that the Turkish Muslims will not fight another Muslim state that has the same strategic interests in the region, which is the domination over the Kurds, occupation and exploitation of Kurdish lands? Don’t they know that the Turkish and Iranian regimes have agreements on that and are cooperating for decades? Do the Jews really believe that their purpose is served by supporting a state of terror and crime, and that this will lead to more security in their neighbourhood, to peace with the Arabs?

Why help bomb a movement that truly strives for freedom and democracy, that could be a natural ally of Israel?

What are Israel’s reasons for a pact with the Devil?
Jaff Sassani
We are the Jaff people with Sassanian origins in Kurdistan, with over one million of us in the Kurdistan region of Iraq alone. We are one fourth of the Population in the KRG area; we paid with our blood for what you call the liberated area. Mr. Talabini has received the lion’s share of the wealth because of our blood. We are not blaming other nations around the world if they do not have respect for us, because we don’t have respect for each other within our region in Kurdistan.

The Kurdistan leadership in the KRG administration, especially Mr. Jalal Talabani’s failed doctrine of the last fifty years, has done the damage. The Kurds should look at our boundaries from over one thousand years ago until today. We are losing the land to the Arab imperialist expansion every minute, even as we write this letter. It is wishful thinking that they would stop soon. It is obvious our people are headless. We don’t have a leader with vision for the future. Tribal leaders in the past and religious Sheiks have led us for the last century. All of them have one thing in common: greed, the collection of power and wealth. They did not care about Kurdish liberation at all. They form modern parties and then you find out they are not modern at all.

The Israeli’s have the same interest as other nation does in the world. Why we have to expect Israeli to scarify their countries interest for us while we are enemy of each other.
If our people in south Kurdistan for last seventeen years did respect the population and established democratic region then we should ask other people to respect us. We believe that our people should join other Aryan nations in the region so we can get the freedom in the future. We have to revolt against people like Mr. Talabani as a leader in our region.

The Aryan Economic Union (AU) will get us united with other Iranian nations, and then outside forces will respect us and count our opinions in the region. It will bring us the respect we deserve when we are united. The Kurds alone are not going to get anywhere. It is wishful thinking that the Arabs, with over three hundred million, and the Turks, with over one hundred million, plus their military power and wealth will be traded for the Kurdish favor. The Kurds do not have a country, military or wealth so how we can get respect equal to the Arabs or Turks in the region?
Sincerely,

Jaff Sassani
