I never heard of Kurds being related to Jews. Kurds are not Semites -- they are an Irani people, speaking an Irani language. They are most likely descendents of the Cardusii (a people who lived on the western bank of the caspian during Achaemenid times) or the Medes or both

Though of course, they could also have Jewish blood or Israelite blood due to centuries of living next to each other

What turns up is a number of articles that discuss their genetic links.
