This particular blog entry I meant to publish some time ago, but never actually did wind up publishing it. Then, I was looking at my unpublished stuff, and saw this. So, it seemed time to allow this to see the time of day, finally. This was from a couple of weeks or so ago, but I do not think that it is outdated, or anything. It is about the Islamic State, and the criminal behavior that that regime, or terrorist group, or whatever they are considered, is responsible for.
Not too long ago, I remember some prominent United Nations official suggesting that the Islamic State was potentially a genocidal regime.
Apparently, they are coming closer to matching that description.
The Islamic State has essentially taken over a Palestinian refugee camp and, according to reports, they are making it look more and more like a death camp. Prominent UN officials are urging the world to take action, and not simply allow these crimes to continue.
