80,000 Caliphate Women, Children Still Living In Remote Syrian Camp Despite ISIS Elimination

The United States and Syrian-Kurdish forces have successfully driven Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) fighters out of Syria, ending the terrorists’ stronghold in the country that, in 2014, covered 34,000 square miles; however, aid groups and the media are reporting that the almost 80,000 people who lived under ISIS rule for years have now been relocated to a remote camp in northeastern Syria.

The United Nation’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported on Monday that the Syria Humanitarian Fund (SHF) has given $4.3 million in U.S. dollars to organizations that are “delivering life-saving assistance to people displaced from the last ISIL-held enclave of Baghouz in south-eastern rural Deir-ez-Zour, to Al-Hol camp, Al-Hasakeh governorate.”

The SHF allocation will allow partners to provide time-critical support to displaced populations, including tents and warm blankets, safe drinking water, personal hygiene items, treatment for malnutrition as well as emergency health care. The funds will also be used to expand the capacity of the camp and make space for additional accommodation areas to be provided. Due to recent large-scale influxes, 19,000 people are currently hosted in large tents and communal areas while they wait for the camp to be expanded.

“These funds will bring immediate relief to the tens of thousands being hosted inside Al-Hol camp, particularly women and children who make up 90 per cent of the camp population”, Corinne Fleischer, a humanitarian coordinator said in the U.N. report. “Many of the most recent (Internally Displaced Persons) IDPs have arrived in extremely poor health, displaying clear signs of distress, fatigue, traumatic injuries as well as malnutrition, which pose a direct threat to survival without a rapid response.”

Spouses? Are you kidding me? Spouses?

ISIS has sex slaves, the result of forced marriages literally at knife-point. True, some of the women are True Believers and true mujahideen, and they of course cannot be considered anything but terrorists, and -- if they are armed --- combatants.

However, to kill without distinction the captive together with her captor, the innocent with the guilty --- to kill indiscriminately --- we have a word for that in English: murder.

And we have a law about murder in our civilization: thou shalt not.

“True, some of the women are True Believers and true mujahideen, and they of course cannot be considered anything but terrorists, and — if they are armed -— combatants.”

We have neither the time nor the inclination to sort them out. Leave the lot of them to the tender mercies of the Syrians and the Russians. Not one of them should ever be allowed to set foot in America.

Ever.

I didn't say "Bring them all to Padukah" or the equivalent.

I did say "Indiscriminate killing of the innocent and guilty together is murder."

Any reasonably mentally and morally competent can understand this distinction.

“I didn’t say “Bring them all to Padukah” or the equivalent.”

Catholic Charities will do that for you, for a hefty fee.

I am 1000% opposed to Catholic Charities’ role in this migrant situation, as this FR forum and my own pastor know well. And they do not get my Catholic charitable tuppence.

[Lurker]

“And they do not get my Catholic charitable tuppence.”

Excellent. They do get millions of taxpayer dollars, however. That needs to end.

Now.
