Kurds & Americans "Flip the Bird" to Syrians & Turkish Citizen/Nations. US Kill Syrian Civilians

 The hoisting of American flags at Tell Abyad, a Kurdish-held town near the Turkish border, is causing anger on both the Turkish and Syrian sides of the frontier, although it isn’t unclear if U.S. troops are indeed present in the area, or if it is a Kurdish attempt to avoid bombs from the sky.

The sight also infuriated the Syrians, who went onto Twitter and Facebook andaccused Washington of occupying foreign land and helping ‘Kurdish terrorists.’ Most of the Syrians demonstrating their opposition also appeared to be supporters of President Bashar al-Assad. One user, Ghassan Al-Assad from Damascus responded to the sight, calling it a “flat-out opposition.”

The state-run Anadolu news agency says three U.S. flags were hung on Thursday around a compound of the Democratic Union Party, or PYD, and were still visible from Turkey on Friday afternoon.

The Syrian Kurdish fighters are an ally to the United States in the battle against the Islamic State group.

But Turkey views them as an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has waged a decades-long insurgency in Turkey and is viewed as a terrorist group by Turkey and the U.S.

U.S. Department of Defense chief spokesman Peter Cook earlier said that Washington has asked the Syrian Kurdish partner forces not to fly the American flag on their own but was unaware of this particular instance.
