Hillary and Chelsea Clinton are set to produce a new TV drama based on the experience of female Kurdish fighters in Rojava (Northern Syria).
Based on Gayle Tzemach Lemmon’s The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion, Courage, and Justice, the series revolves around the exploits of members of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) in their defensive clash with Islamic State forces in Syria.
The Kurdish series is to be produced by HiddenLight, a production company founded by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.
“We created HiddenLight to celebrate heroes – sung and unsung alike – whose courage is too often overlooked, and we could not be more thrilled to bring this inspiring story to viewers around the world,” said Clinton.
Why some are upset
The YPJ is an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Though originally founded to establish minority rights for the Kurdish people of Turkey, the PKK have carried out terror attacks on Turkish citizens in the past.
In 1997, during the presidency of Clinton’s husband Bill and at the behest of Turkey, the PKK was officially labeled a terrorist organization. Sympathizers of the PKK pointed to America’s ambivalence to NATO ally Turkey’s often violent and inhumane acts against the Kurdish minority as an example of Western hypocrisy.
While the PKK’s terrorist designation remains to this day, despite the group and its offshoots being the most effective ground-troop against ISIS in the region during the crisis, the YPG and YPJ are currently without such a cynical characterization.
While no politician since the War on Terror began is free of all foreign policy sin, Clinton’s desire to share this story with the greater public should be celebrated. The struggle over Kobani is a modern-day version of Stalingrad’s defense against the Nazis, a story of hope in the face of pure horror and horrid odds. We are all better to learn from the crisis, as to mitigate the chances of it occurring again.
Is this some “Money Laundering Scheme” or other Clinton Illegal Activity?
Whatever happened to her Using her private email servers that contained Ultra Top Secret Data?
Oh, I forgot, she’s a Democrat and Above the Law!
This is irony! Hillary supports those people. She was part of the Obama administration! Won’t say more about that but on a personal note: I don’t think Hillary is the right person to produce anything in defense of women. Her former behavior has proved this out. I don’t trust the intent of her actions. No one should view something she’s involved with. It will be terribly slanted towards her views and advantages.
Yuk! Crazy Hill and Billy…
I wish they would go away, far, far away! Maybe take China Joe, and that absolutely worthless Obama with them. The World would be a better place!!!!!!!!
They could take Moscow Mitch with them. And putting yes man trump
Everybody who is a patriot should not!!!!!! Watch this show, if it doesn’t get ratings it should be canceled. Also do t support the TV station that shows it. Rat rings are important just don’t watch and don’t by the products that sponsor the station. Stand tuff patriots. GOD BLESS AMERICAN!!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me. If HC is involved it is wrong. She cares about no one and there is absolutely nothing that she has ever done that did not entail her profiting personally. I feel sorry for anyone that would trust her for any reason. SCARY
They just need to give the money to a state department that handles this problem not grandstanding for their selves. How much will they be paid for this ? She and Obama should be charged with murder for the death of a Ambassador and his security people. Why has this not happened.
Yuck. Don’t want any part of Hillary.
Billy Hillary and Obama are not in jail because Trump is still on the loose..Cheating university students,assaulting 16 women, Using a foundation money for personal debts,Holding back money for a country unless they do you a favor,Asking foreign governments for assistance in elections,putting kids in cages without parents,selling presidental pardons, using the oval office for personal profit, and inciting a rebellion to overthrow the US government where 5 people died, all these trumps the measly unproven deeds Hillary and Obama are accused of.. And by the wayThe Trump crimes are all recorded and documented contrary to not a one of perceived crimes by Obama. Hillary testified for eleven hours to congress, Trump not a one, Mueller, Congress or courts, he even ignored subpoenas. If that doesnt answer your question its because you people are full of shit..You refuse to admit this Trump thing is because he is the only one who promised to let you worms out of your racist liar, Something you all wanted to do so bad since Obama was elected that it hurts. Trump is your deliverer. His blond hair and white skin is a symbol of white power and that’s all you care about..Just admit it to yourself, you dont have to tell me. Do that then go fuck yourself. Prickface..
Gee Bob; and what shithole country did you come from where they tell people to go f!@#$%^&*
Ah, the Democratic base. . . . . . .
