Kurdish Yazidis fleeing Jihadists in Iraq

The Left/Islam alliance, that political creature that has done, and continues to do, such great damage to Western societies is very fond of pointing to the affects on Gaza of Israel’s fight back against the genocidal maniacs of Hamas. This is as anybody with an ounce of sense could ascertain, a false claim.

What is happening to the Yazidi ethnic and religious minority in Iraq at the hands of Islamic savages truly is genocide. The entire Yazidi people have been declared to be ‘devil worshippers’ by Jihadists who have conquered their lands.

The Guardian newspaper said:

“Tens of thousands of members of one of Iraq’s oldest minorities have been stranded on a mountain in the country’s north-west, facing slaughter at the hands of jihadists surrounding them below if they flee, or death by dehydration if they stay.

UN groups say at least 40,000 members of the Yazidi sect, many of them women and children, have taken refuge in nine locations on Mount Sinjar, a craggy mile-high ridge line identified in local legend as the final resting place of Noah’s ark.

At least 130,000 more people, many from the Yazidi stronghold of Sinjar, have fled to Dohuk, in the Kurdish north, or to Erbil, where regional authorities have been struggling since June to deal with one of the biggest and most rapid refugee movements in decades.

Sinjar itself has been all but emptied of its 300,000 residents since jihadists stormed the city late on Saturday – but an estimated 25,000 people remain. “We are being told to convert, or to lose our heads,” said Khuldoon Atyas, who has stayed behind to guard his family’s crops. “There is no one coming to help.”

Another man, who is hiding in the mountains and identified himself as Nafi’ee, said: “Food is low, ammunition is low and so is water. We have one piece of bread to share between 10 people. We have to walk 2km (1.2 miles) to get water. There were some air strikes yesterday (against the jihadists). But they have made no difference.”

At least 500 Yazidis, among them 40 children, have been killed in the past week, local officials say. Many more have received direct threats, either from the advancing militants, or members of nearby Sunni communities allied with them. “They were our neighbours and now they are our killers,” said Mr Atyas.

“It’s not like this is a one-off incident,” said UNICEF spokeswoman Juliette Touma of the latest exodus. “We are almost back to square zero in terms of the preparedness and the supplies. Enormous numbers of people have been crossing the border since June.”

There are no mass demonstrations by Muslims and Leftists against this real genocide, there are no hand-wringing articles in the Press by Liberal Democrat politicians eager to jump on a bandwagon, no sermons by Left wing churchmen or women, no socialist Rabbonim screaming about ‘justice’. The Yazidis are being left to die either by starvation or at the hands of theocratic fascists and all those who would normally turn out to protest against injustice are silent. They are sitting on their hands and saying nothing because it is Muslims who are doing the killing. Those who are laughingly called ‘Unite Against Fascism’ whose members once even turned out to counterprotest against those Britons who are angry about Islamic Grooming Gangs are staying tight-lipped about a genocide. The alphabet soup of Left wing organisations who screamed ‘We are all Hamas’ and ‘Palestine,from the River to the Sea’ on the streets of London are staying at home in the face of a genocide.

In the late 1940’s the world said ‘Never Again’. Now it seems the world is just shrugging its shoulders and just saying ‘again?’.

This is not something that we can sit at home and dismiss as being something that happens only in the savage lands that Islam controls. It can and does happen anywhere that Islam has been allowed to grow unchecked by law or social opprobrium. One of the most frightening parts of this article is this bit: “They were our neighbours and now they are our killers,” This is what has happened in countless places where Islam has been let off the leash. This is what happened in Lebanon, India, Egypt, Morocco and Iraq. If things in Britain continue to get worse viz a viz Islam, then the cry of ‘he was my neighbour but he killed my people’ will be coming out of London, Ipswich, Edgbaston, Manchester and Inverness.

It is a scandal that the media is not making more of this story, after all what is the most important news at the moment, is it a sportsman on trial for one murder or is it the murder by hunger and sword of tens of thousands of innocent Yazidis? If we ignore the plight of the Yazidis today, who will speak up for us tomorrow?
