The Kurdish claim for self-determination unveils how hypocrites are politicians when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There may be no explanation other than anti-Semitism for such an obsession with a small territory and so few refugees (comparing to other groups without a homeland). But when Europe deals with refugees, and claims of self-determination (other than Palestinian’s), the values are very different from the "humanitarian" behavior they demand from Israel - a State that has to deal with existential threats and very concrete enemies with a fanatic agenda.
