About Us
Headquartered in Brussels, the capital of Europe, the Jewish Coalition for Kurdistan is a non-governmental organization dedicated to support and promote the legitimate rights of the Kurdish people to self-determination.
The Jewish Coalition for Kurdistan is an initiative of Jewish human rights activists who believe that after a century-long broken promise, time has come for the international community to set right injustice of the past.
The Jewish Coalition for Kurdistan is committed to deepening friendship between the Jewish and Kurdish people worldwide, and supporting the further development and consolidation of relations between Kurdistan and the State of Israel, the only two democratic and pro-Western societies in the Middle East.
JCFK.org provides a unique source of information on Kurdistan, including latest news and articles related to Jewish-Kurdish friendship and Kurdistan-Israel relations.
