I knew that Ann Clwyd has been a long time supporter of the Kurdish Peoples of Iraq and Dafydd Iwan too is long time supporter of the Kurdish Peoples of Turkey and this should be recognised.

But what about the rest of Cymru/Wales, for most part 'Pacifist Left Cultural Nationalist Fringe' supports Palestine and Gaza, nothing wrong in that, I do as well but here's the rub. Most of a World Wide similar 'Pacifist Left Fringe' does as well, it would be interesting to know why this is so with the 'Usual Suspect' usually 'Metro Left' and why not the Kurds or Tibet. there is of course various 'Left Fringe Agendas' at work here, as if one digs deep enough into 'Metro Left Political Agenda ' one sees that support dwells with groups that appear to have a 'left ideaology', even if it's not exactly on the level and whether or not a group is successful or not to become 'Flavour of the Month'. Otherwise, even in Cymru/Wales Palestine/Gaza comes before the Kurds and Tibet and Mapuche of Chile/Patagonia.

This will include the Irish, Basques and Catalans but not so much the Welsh, Scots or Balts nor Tibet or other minorities people and at the moment the struggle of the Mapuche and other native peoples of the Americas is way down on the Agenda of the 'MLPA' also indeed our 'Careerist Concernees' in Cymru/Wales within Cultural and Political Nationalism as well groups as Radical Wales, Red Poets and Red Choir appear to be besotted by Gaza and Palestine. That might have something to do with Plaid Cymru' Jill Evans who as like Ann Clwyd adopted for her self a 'cause celbre', though not Kurds so much but more so Gaza/Palestine:

Indeed Google the Web Jill Evans and Gaza and she appears as much an MEP for Gaza as for Y Rhondda, that's her bag and lets not knock it. In fact I think all Welsh AM's, MP's and MEP's should adopt an International Minorities People/Small Nation Cause, there are plenty to go around that's for sure. Why not a 'Minorities/Small Nation Day' at the Assembly and also some move to support such via the National and Yr Eisteddfod's, this year perhaps at the Wrecsam Eisteddfod a special effort should be made due to the 'Troubles' there re Kurdish Assylum Seekers which led to many Kurds being forced from the area.

Myself I think Wrecsam should now become specifically an area that makes of it a 'Kurdish Refugee Sanctury Region', why not other Welsh Regions also adopting specific 'Minority Peoples' to invite to their designated 'Sanctuaries'. Whatever, my main concern at moment is that Cymru/Wales 'corncernees' take aboard a number of oppressed minority peoples/Small Nations causes as Gaza/Palestine gets massive 'Corncernee' support World Wide. One way of advancing such support, is if we had a 'Minorities Support Group/Committee/Council Cymru'. Similar to the Minority Rights Organisation or establish a Wales Branch of Minority Rights:
Certainly at the Wrecsam Esieddfod, I would hope such is considered with someone giving talk at the Eisteddfod Societies Tent and why not an exhibition in the Town on Minority Peoples and Small Nations - That's one I suggest CyIG sponsor maybe?

Last But Not Least - Another Issue of Great Concern:
Not least to the Women amongst our Politicians at this moment in time should forget all the crap being written about 'Slut Walking' and get real. One as only to listen to the BBC World Service to appreciate the awful ammount of physical victimisation of Women via 'Rape as a Weapon of War', this in turn seems to encourage rape of women in society generally in not only Third World Countries but also as example, in Tunisian Libyan Refugee Camps. Of course, one would have to really have ones head between ones knees not to be aware of crimes against young women and girls in the British Isles. Almost every day we are hearing of most foul sexual physical violance and murders, one trial goes on after another but at least in the British Isles there are means of redress not so available in other parts of the World. I suggest our Welsh assembly does something to adress such evil in Cymru/Wales and considers what they may do to support campaigns against rape or other wise help the victims in the Third World.
