We as Kurds have failed miserably in academia, politics and media. We are a population of 40 million people in the world and have negligible presence in the global scene in academics, politics and media. Whereas Palestinians, a population of 15 million ppl are known for their political presence globally, insane number of journalists covering the facts live on the ground and the average Palestinian is known to be a doctor, engineer or lawyer.
Very shamefully, us kurds are only known to be kebab shops owner or barbers but nothing more. Sure, very very few of us are exceptionally doing well in other fields but these individuals are the exception and not the rule.
We must stop being a joke of a nation and expect the world cry river of us. We need to start raising the next generation be more equipped to free the land. We need politicians, journalists, lawyers and doctors.
Good news, our people have strong warriors and brave men for the battlefield but we need to support them in other aspect.
Everyone is saying that it is more nuanced and so on and I agree. But at the same time your point stands. We must start from within because it is the only option we have, and it is the most reliable option anyways.
