Many nations have been victimized by lsIamic supremacism and jihadist campaigns, but Yezidis, an ancient ethno-religious community indigenous to northern Mesopotamia, seem to be one of the main and continued victims of this genocidal ideology.
#IntlProtection4Yazidis Image
Genocidal massacres,ethnic cleansings and forced conversions against Yezidis by MusIims didn’t start with the advent of Islamic State.
Yazidis, a peaceful community opposed to violence and bIoodshed, have for centuries been exposed to these crimes and more, for being Yazidis Image
Yezidis have been persecuted enormously, particularly at the hands of MusIims, throughout history. lsIam has grown and spread since the mid-seventh century.
In this process, the Arab conquerors have tremendously persecuted Yezidis in Iraq, Syria and Iran.

ISIS enslaved Yezidi women, arguing that they can rightfully keep Yezidi women as sIaves to perform better Jihad bcz they aren’t MuzIim.

Men aged 14 and above are kiIIed.
The women are stripped naked and their bodies examined for breast size and attractiveness, and virginity tests are performed. A price is decided, and the women are sold...

#thread After two and a half years in #ISIS captivity, Imad, his little brother Idan, and their mother Ghazala are released into a refugee camp in #Kurdistan.

A film on #YazidiGenocide:
12, 13 & 14 May at @AmsterdamFilm
Healing from the #trauma is hard for all of them, but it seems Imad is having a particularly tough time. Not yet five, he has already spent over half his #life enduring terror, abuse, and “training” meant to make him heartless.
Speaking only #Arabic, he cannot communicate with his family, and the only means of expression at his disposal is violence. He hits and spits, and his only game is pretending to be an #ISIS fighter who shoots, blows things up, and kills.

Vor 7 J griff der #IS den Ort #Sengal an. Tausende Menschen wurden massakriert, vergewaltigt, verschleppt u verkauft.
Die Entführung von êzidischen Frauen durch den IS als Kriegsbeute, ihre Versklavung, systematische Vergewaltigung u Zwangskonversion sind nicht nur Teil eines 1/3
systematischen Krieges gg Frauen sondern erfüllen auch d Tatbestand des #Femizids. Auch die konkrete Zahl der Verschleppten u auf sog.Sklavinnenmärkten verkauften Frauen u Mädchen,die noch nicht in Freiheit leben,konnte noch immer nicht benannt werden.
Fakt ist, dass derzeit 2/3
ca.3500 Mädchen u Frauen immer noch als vermisst gelten!Der Genozid muss anerkannt werden!Die Verantwortlichen müssen z Rechenschaft gezogen u verurteilt werden!

Thread. Since even before the #ISIS #Daesh genocide against #Yezidi #Yazidi #YazidiGenocide in 2014, the '@NATO member' #Turkey has been the #Jihad highway to #Syria and #Iraq .

These are items on sale in stores in Turkey for terrorist extremists like ISIS members.
It is no secret that foreign terrorists, including #ISIS but not only ISIS, use #Turkey as a gateway, with encouragement and facilitation of Turkish state + parts of Turkey's society. But it is revealing + appalling to see #ISIS clothing / literature openly on sale in the street.
For those who think these are only shirts and books, be sure that this is the tip of the iceberg that is based on destruction, murder, and sexual violence. The virtual (social media) and physical (Turkey) pathway is the door for individuals to join genocidal organizations.

Yazidis STILL negotiating return of OVER 1K kidnapped women, children

Yazidis continue to BUY back their kidnapped women & children (WHO IS HELPING THEM)

ISIS film themselves laughing at how they will share their Yazidi Sex Slaves they BOUGHT at a Market
al-monitor.com/pulse/original…
Across the Western world, politicians & media put on a daily show of pretending to care about human rights, while ignoring the genocide of Christians & Yazidis in the Middle East

Millions of forgotten children, women & men are being tortured, murdered & raped under Islamic Rule.
ISIS women also torture Yazidi women & little girls! ISIS women continue to defend the rape of the Yazidi female prisoners

These women have no regrets about joining ISIS & are being welcomed back to Western countries by the left-wing and their media!

Yezidis&the 🇮🇶 parliament
The Yezidi religion is1of the oldest religions in🇮🇶. It dates back centuries. Its ancient beliefs, customs&even alphabet have all influenced several other religions&cultures within🇮🇶, including Chaldean, Assyrian&Sumerian civilizations

Yezidis have never opposed or attempted to persecute any other ethnic or religious group. They have never attempted to undermine or destabilize any regime that has ruled over Iraq.

Indeed, they shy away from even supporting one political party over another.

Despite their peaceful existence in Iraq, different regimes would always attempt to persecute them.
