Let's Not Forget Who They Are

According to the AP, 72 mass graves have been uncovered in Syria and Iraq in land that has been taken back from ISIS.  These graves contain the remains of between 5000 and 15000 people.  Initial examination of the sites indicates that these are not people who died of natural causes.  They were executed by ISIS.

Think about this.  In the last week, there have been stories about the possibility that four civilians were killed in an air strike launched by American forces.  There have also been multiple stories about Israel tearing down the homes of two men who carried out terror attacks against civilians.  Each of these stories got more media coverage than our learning of the mass slaughter by ISIS of literally thousands of innocent people.  How can that be?  Why are some people outraged if a house is torn down but uncaring is thousands are murdered?

We need to focus attention on the mass murders committed by ISIS.  Those who died should not be forgotten.  How many Yazidis died just because they did not follow the religion of the ISIS zealots?  How many Christians were murdered in Iraq and Syria?  What happened to the Shiites in the territory taken by ISIS?  Are we just to forget the genocidal actions of the purveyors of an ideology of hate?

No doubt the Obama White House and the Clinton campaign don't want to talk about the ISIS murderers.  These geniuses don't want to offend segments of the Moslem populations with ISIS crimes because that might cause those people to do something bad.  ISIS murders thousands and these fools are worried about talking about it.  It's insanity; there is no other way to describe it.  We need to identify just who it is that we are fighting and to point out their horrific crimes to the world.
