They know very well and yet they continue to support the Turkish military. Very simply, they are supporters of genocide.<BR/><BR/>Pacifism is a tool used by every state to maintain the status quo--which is always in its favor. States promote the official story that it is only through "peaceful" means that anything is truly accomplished--something that is utter nonsense. Ghandi wasn't successful; those who took up arms against the British were ultimately successful. It's just that the genocidal British decided to cooperate with the ineffective pacifist Ghandi. <BR/><BR/>Same with Martin Luther King. It was not that he was successful, but that armed groups working at the same time, in parallel, with the pacifist civil rights movement were the ones who forced the ruling authorities (including JFK) into compromise. King admitted such himself.<BR/><BR/>Then we have the observation that states do not take their own advice and use peaceful means to enforce their interests. States use terrorist violence every day to enforce their wills and commit their genocides . . . I never see any pacifists admitting this, but that may be because they know they are tools of evil regimes.<BR/><BR/>PKK has always used the two-pronged approach (political and armed) means in its struggle because it understands reality. When states won't take the carrot, they have to be beaten with a heavy stick.<BR/><BR/>And I don't agree that the burden of explaining the genocide of Kurdistan by the Ankara regime and its allies should fall only on the Kurdish people. Others know exactly what is happening or they can easily find out for themselves . . . unless you have to have your "impartial and objective" media spoon feed you.<BR/><BR/>You have internet. So does everyone else. Ignorance is no longer the excuse.Mizgînhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850990661771197094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-76095632063444521302008-03-05T07:09:00.000-08:002008-03-05T07:09:00.000-08:00If you target civilians, you are not better then t...If you target civilians, you are not better then the Turkish state and then you are just as hypocrite as the people you are criticizing all day.

Each group struggles for recognition of part of Turkey's gruesome history of imperialism and 'ethnic cleansing' in the region, when really that history needs to be presented in its entirety.<BR/><BR/>Just an observation by someone who does not personally belong to any of these groups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-9748357241533330822008-03-04T18:08:00.000-08:002008-03-04T18:08:00.000-08:00Absolutely, do not target tourists in Turkey or an...Absolutely, do not target tourists in Turkey or anywhere! <BR/>hamo said that TAK and others have made it clear that people should not travel to Turkey. Sorry to say this, but that message is not very well known at least in North Europe (I know only this area). In fact very few people know (and care) anything about what happens in Turkey. In what language and through what channels has that information been given? I haven't heard anything like that for a long long time.<BR/>First now after Turkey went to Iraq, people here started to think that that was wrong done and get interested in what is the question about. Turkey is spoiling itself its own reputation. Let it do it! Then people will start to think twice before they book their flying tickets. I want PKK not to be listed as a terrorist group. Already now the word "terrorist" is not anymore mentioned every time in news when talking about PKK. It has been replaced with "guerillaorganization", "freedomorganization of kurds" ,"kurdish guerillas", "kurdish fighters" or just "kurdish organization". That means that it is possible to start discussions - nobody wants to listen to terrorists. So don't become terrorists! Attacking civilians would also make it easier for those who want to deal kurdish people to "ordinary kurds and terrorists" saying the first ones do not support PKK. Is it that you want?<BR/> There is a lot of Kurdish people living in diaspora. Couldn't they work little bit harder in this information question, also by giving people new ideas where to spend their holidays and why? <BR/>AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-18614574437790746522008-03-04T18:00:00.000-08:002008-03-04T18:00:00.000-08:00TAK has never operated in Turkish-occupied Kurdist...TAK has never operated in Turkish-occupied Kurdistan.<BR/><BR/>Tourists who go to Turkey and spend their money in hotels, resorts, brothels, and other tourist venues run by TSK business interests are not innocent.Mizgînhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850990661771197094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-50015469035525891612008-03-04T17:03:00.000-08:002008-03-04T17:03:00.000-08:00Hamo, you see, you support targeting innocents, an...Hamo, you see, you support targeting innocents, and I do not.

It is not the tourists are targeted but the turkish economy where support the war in Kurdistan is targeted and if there is a casulty end of this operation then again Turkish government is indirectly responsible because of their eager to continuation of this dirty war in Kurdistan.
