Randal, ''After Such Knowledge, What Forgiveness?: My Encounters with Kurdistan'', 356 pp., Westview Press, 1998, ISBN 0-8133-3580-9, p.231〕 The term "Jash Police" was used by the Kurds towards the Iraq's local Kurdish police militias in 1944. In the latter half of the 20th century, Kurds who became collaborators with the Iraqi government were referred to as ''jash''.〔 The number of jash increased to "as many as 150,000 by 1986" as a method of avoiding military participation in the Iran–Iraq War. These jash then realigned with the rest of the Kurdish people during the 1991 Kurdish uprising. It has been stated by a number of Kurds that "the jash had been completely forgiven". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jash (term)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
