[lbo-talk] Turkish state terrorist assault continues against "terrorist" Kurds

[Marv Gandall]

The Turkish state continues to pound Kurdish population centres with tanks, artillery, and air power while its US and European allies in NATO look the other way. There has been little global outcry about the indiscriminate attacks against civilians though the parallels to the Israeli assault on Gaza in 2014 are quite stark. 

The lack of response by those who identify with the loosely described international left is particularly curious and disappointing since the onslaught is aimed against one of the very few remaining mass movements led by their political kin.
