wth is wrong with you??? Why won't you mention Turkey and Erdogan's atrocious crimes against the Kurds and other minorities?? How twisted are you???

 

 

We hear you, Joe, we hear you.


It's very frustrating how so many look the other way as Turkey breaks one law after another.


They bombed a UN refugee camp over the weekend.


That attack was against the law.  Yes, that is our opinion.  But, yes, it's also the opinion of the US government.  If you missed it buried in a REUTERS report:

 

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield visited Ankara last week and said she told officials that "any attack targeting civilians at Makhmour refugee camp would be a violation of international and humanitarian law".



A violation of international and humanitarian law?


A US official on the record.  So why isn't that law breaking the lead story?
