While I have never endorsed the
soldiers for the Islamic State (ISIS) I don’t blame them for rebelling against
their captors in Syria. They have been treated like crap from their US puppets in
both Syria and Iraq. In Iraq, during the war with ISIS, they threw captured
prisoners off of roofs to kill them and save on ammunition. People were also
executed or jailed for just simply working for the government of ISIS.
According to the New
York Times:
An American-backed militia that has waged four
days of deadly battles to dislodge Islamic State fighters from a prison in
northeast Syria warned on Sunday that the jihadists were using more than 600
boys detained in the complex as “human shields.”
The mainstream US news media
claims that ISIS fighters are using children as human shields. But that raises
an interesting question= What are children doing in a prison anyway? They seem
to be children of the ISIS fighters. Why does the US and its allies prison
children?
There is no excuse for
imprisoning children. That in itself is a crime against humanity. And no matter
what the ISIS people believed in or did, they don’t deserve the crappy treatment
they have been given in the Middle East. There are very few good guys in the
Middle East today and imperialism of all kind is alive and well. This is a very
sad set of events.
