Erbil Iraq
Erbil, Iraq
A Peshmerga official has been seen on video recommending that his group burn Arab homes and treat them like Jews.

This is an especially bizarre statement considering that Israel has been one of the very few that has said it would recognize and support an independent Kurdistan.

This comes as Al-Sura News has reported that Kurdish people who fled from Kirkuk have begun occupying homes of Arabs in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Regional Government.

The report also says that people who have lost their homes to illegal Kurdish settlers are receiving no assistance from the regions police force.

The report states that "If you are in Erbil please contact media@al-sura.com urgently to be directed to the displaced Arab families. We have received direct reports of over 14 Arab homes taken over and fears are mounting that because of Kurdish police inaction this will steadily rise."
