My thoughts exactly. I thought the Kurds were allies.

The Kurds are the enemy of our enemy...but still not to be trusted.

The Syrian Kurds are different in their relationship with the US than are those of Barzani in Iraq (whose relationships with the US goes back at least to the 70’s, but they were betrayed by Jimmy Carter and possibly Geo Bush Sr after the 1991 Gulf War).

I find it hard to find any moderates in Syria, something that the Israelis have known since the 1940’s.

The only innocents are some of the women and children caught in the middle, but even then, they probably would not get the Good Samaritan Award for Christian-Jewish-Moslem Friendship efforts.
