Israel never actually did anything for the kurds

Why do you make such uneducated statements? Israel has done a lot for the Kurds, and the Kurds have done a lot for Israel. Kurds were one of the very few who protected the Jews and the other minorities when they were oppressed and killed by the Arabs. It may not seem like Israel helps Kurdistan out, but I can assure you that they help us out a great deal. Most of it is on the low because of the neighbouring Arab countries. Jewish organisations has started lobbying campaigns to help the Kurds during wars, they've also provided kits during hard times. They've done a lot for us.

From Willing to Face Death: A History of Kurdish Military Forces - the Peshmerga - From the Ottoman Empire to Present-Day Iraq:

By the end of the war, Iran supported the Kurdish cause with heavy weaponry and Israel sent numerous Israeli commandos who not only fought alongside the peshmerga, but also offered “very good advice” – including setting up a communications network and training the peshmerga in sabotage and demolitions. The U.S., through its clandestine agencies, also allegedly supported the peshmerga.

Unable to reconcile their differences and still attempting to fight the war, both Talabani and Barzani vied for the favor of the revolving Iraqi government. Barzani, once he consolidated his KDP power, became the lead for negotiations with the Arif government, refusing to send peshmerga against Israel in 1967

Barzani, knowing conflict was forthcoming, consolidated the peshmerga and continued to recruit throughout the early 1970s. By spring 1974, nearly 50-60,000 peshmerga were enrolled in Barzani’s ranks. International support also continued as Iran and Israel gave supplies and weapons, attempting to weaken the Arab nationalist regime of Ahmad al Bakr. The United States also assisted the peshmerga more openly during the early 1970s, supplying money and weapons through the CIA, countering Iraq’s ties with the Soviet Union.
