because it's liable to be repeated to the world. Like this crime against humanity and also like Trump's explaining the need for U.S. abandonment of the Kurds as "they (Turkey) had to have it cleaned out," referring to ethnic cleansing of the Kurds.

Btw, I looked the Kurdish people up, and they range somewhere between 2/3 up to 3/4 Muslim. The other third to quarter are various religions, including all the Christians in the ethnic Kurdistan area of the Middle East. Erdogan/Turkey are Muslim. Bashar Assad/Syria are Muslim.

Our own Christian right's president is playing a key role of the ethnic cleansing of Christians from Turkey and Syria and endangering the future of all others in the Middle East.
