The Betrayal of Kurdistan Is a Warning Sign for Israel
(Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies-Bar-Ilan University) Lt. Col. (res.) Dr. Mordechai Kedar - If war breaks out between Israel and Iran (including Hizbullah), Israel sacrifices hundreds of soldiers and civilians, and the Iranian problem ceases to exist, will the Arab and Western worlds be grateful to Israel and act to protect its interests? Look at the Kurds. What happened to them will happen to Israel. The Kurds fought ISIS, sacrificed their soldiers and people, and were thrown to the wolves once they had outlived their usefulness. That is exactly what will happen to Israel once it saves the Arab states from the Iranian threat. It is the immediate interests of each state, not the moral rights of the Kurds and the Israelis, that make the world go round. The writer, who served for 25 years in IDF military intelligence, is a lecturer at Bar-Ilan University.
