Not that it's different from any other day in Iran or many parts of the Islamic or Arab World (or the chambers of the UN, EU, and State Department for that matter), but today is Jerusalem Day in Iran where they march and call for the destruction of Israel.
So, today I'm promoting Kurdistan Day.
You see, Woodrow Wilson promised the Kurds their own independent nation after WWI.
They have their own culture, language, and (with some assistance) trend towards democratic rule with greater tolerance to others than that has been shown to them.
Then Winston Churchill fucked them. He fucked them big time, and enslaved their fortune to the Turks, Syrians, Persians, and Iraqis.
They haven't fared very well under that arrangement. In fact, they're been pretty much screwed, just like the Tibetans under the Chinese, Burmese under the so-called Myanmar regime, how the Formosans will fare under the Chinese, Christians under the House Of Saud, blah blah blah pretty much all those places the UNHRC ignores to condemn Israel on an hourly basis.
So, I figure if there's anyone deserving of their own national identity, it's the Kurds.
Hence, Kurdistan Day. To undo Wilnston Churchill's injustice.

thats not what Jerusalem Day is about, its about freeing Palestine. what about the Kashmirs in india? Chechnyas in russia? the Palestinians are the poorest people on earth, what kind of people deny them clean water and electricity to hospitals?
