Trump solution to ISIS: "Take out their families"

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide

Genocide is the intent to systematically eliminate a racial, ethnic, religious, cultural or national group. Well-known examples of genocide include the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the Holodomor (Ukrainian genocide), 1971 Bangladesh Genocide, and more recently the Rwandan Genocide and the Bosnian Genocide.
