Bedirxan Beg's massacres in Tur Abdin - In 1840-1844, the #Ezidis of Tur Abdin faced repeated invasions by Bedirxan Beg, the Prince of Bohtan & head of the Ezizan, an old and influential Kurdish noble family who according to Şerefxan Bedlîsî, were themselves originally Ezidis. 
Despite this, he is infamous for his bloodthirst against the religious minorities in the region, including Ezidis and Nestorians. He participated in the 1836 massacre which killed over 10,000 Nestorians, enslaving and forcibly converting furthermore to Islam.
Between 1840-1844, he launched numerous invasions against Ezidis in Tur Abdin, throughout that period, thousands of Ezidis were killed, with their property looted and the women and children abducted or enslaved.
1. In Northern #Syria members of al-#Qaeda and #Daesh fka #ISIS are embedded with #Turkish #TSK forces conducting daily attacks on US partner forces #SDF and civilians including #Kurds, #Ezidis and #Christians. IMO Turkey force is funded by #Qatar that with #Turkey and #Pakistan
2. forms a terrorist front that advances both ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Both Turkey and Qatar use the US bases and Pakistan uses US overflight as the way to keep our eyes averted to their terrorist affiliations. We will never be free of the FTO threat if we ignore state sponsors.
3. We need to give Turkey and Qatar 48 hours to disclose all their terrorist affiliations or @StateDept should list both as State Sponsors of Terror and block assets. This will never happen because both @StateDept and @CIA are fully infiltrated by Turkish intelligence service as
1. Syria can be saved. But #Turkey's maligned influence in #Syria and the region must end. We can end the fighting in #Idlib by making it a #semiautonomous region. An #SDF force comprised of mostly of #SunniArabs but with Christians #Ezidis & Kurds can bring peace in the north
1. Over 3 years have past since the start of the battle for Raqqa. Remembering the brave members of US forces who fought to defeat Daesh alongside our brave Arab, Kurd and Christian #SDF partners.

2. Six months after that battle started, Trump surrendered #Afrin to Erdogan after @MikePompeo's meeting with three sanctioned Russian intel chiefs in DC. Syrian Christian churches that had survived since the earliest times were looted and desecrated by Turkish backed jihadist
3. including #ISIS and Al-#Qaeda. Then in October last year, after a single call from his Turkish terrorist business associate, Trump surrendered Gire Spi and Tel Abyad again facilitating a #Christian, #Kurds and #Ezidi genocide by Erdogan's jihadist horde.
1. How many members of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump administration will be charged in 2021 with conspiracy to commit genocide of Kurds & Christians in Syria?

2. For top military command, they were not relieved of the duty to report the crime. Therefore I think any @thejointstaff who did not report the crime to @TheJusticeDept should be a legitimate criminal targets and @EsperDoD charged as a civilian for executing an unlawful order.
3. Every hour that passes that @senatemajldr McConnell drags his feet more #Kurds #Ezidis and #Christians are being slaughtered by @RTErdogan and his ISIS/Al-Qaeda force. @ChrisVanHollen @LindseyGrahamSC @SenateGOP @SenateDems
1. The proposed agreement in #Syria marks the final end of the #Ezidi minority. After #Afrin was occupied by #Turkey & its Islamists mercenaries, the same will now occupy the remaining villages in Syria. The #Yezidis remaining in Syria will be forced to flee.
[1] That is what the Leader of the Free World has done with his ill-considered decision: hospital bombing #Assad & hospital bombing #Putin are supposed to protect #Kurdish hospitals in #Syria from hospital bombing #Erdogan.
[2] Minorities have been suffering under the Assad regime for decades. The US President has now driven them into the arms of their executioners to escape ethnic cleansing. The #Ezidis should therefore consider giving up their homeland in #Syria altogether, as they did in #Turkey
[3] With only some 800,000 members worldwide, the #Ezidis have no choice but to leave their homeland in order to survive and escape the endless wars, in which they have no chance of survival.
