[dyaoko]

I was reading an article about Chrstian Amanpoor (the iranian origin reporter of CNN) , in that article it said she is Bahaee, and her husband is James Rubin , A jewish , who was former speakman of the Whie House .

the question is , are Michael Rubin and James Rubin relative ?as both of them are Jewish .
if you have read this forum, you may know that Michael Rubin is one of the enemys of the Kurdish people , specialy nothern Kurds.
and he is a member of JINSA , Jewish institue for nastional security of America.

if Michael Rubin be relative to James Runin, then that shows he has ties with White House Guys , and his sayign against Kurdish peopel , can be Whiet House Guys Words.

in his articles he has been using very dirty words to Kurds, like "Hunting Them" , "letting them die in Hunger in Cold Mountains" , "They are the same terrorists with Alqaeda "

and he has Adored Turkish government , and has always call them Best Model of Democracy .

I have met Michael rubin about 3 months ago. He was just coming back from kurdistan..... He was also teaching a course at the dohuk and sulimaniya university and he is very close to alot of kurdish politicians. He has been in kurdistan so many times.I have read some of his articles that he wrote against the current corruption of the kurdish politicians in KRG...
