Recently the Israeli Prime Minister called for the world to protect the Kurds and their efforts to establish their own independent state called "Kurdistan". I did not understand why Israel was calling for this to happen in the ME. Therefore, I called my Broadcast Partner, Winkie Medad and asked him to prepare a response for me. Today on PTIB Jimmy DeYoung, that's me, and Wimkie will discuss this whole issue; what is the relationship between Israel and the Kurds; why do the Kurds want an independent State; and why is Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey willing to go to war to stop a Kurdish State in the ME.
