She was a global human rights and democracy icon, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and a political prisoner who spent 15 years under house arrest. But this week, Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi will personally defend her country from accusations of genocide against the Rohingya community at the United Nation's top court.

The momentous legal case, which kicks off with three days of hearings Tuesday, will see Myanmar's civilian leader Suu Kyi lead a delegation to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Peace Palace in the Netherlands to justify her government's persecution of the Muslim minority. It's a shocking turn of events for a leader once internationally renowned for her long struggle against military rule.

Fighting back against brutal Muslim invaders (who massacre your citizens and blow up police stations) and then ejecting them back to where they came from is genocide to the new world order.

I’m sure they’re much happier across the river among their own people.

In countries with Mooslim minorities, Mooslims are very concerned about minority rights.

In countries with Mooslim majorities, there are no minority rights.

When impeachment fails, expect the Dems to try to use this tactic against Trump.

Fighting Islamonazis is genocide.

My respect for Aung San Suu Kyi has increased even more. She really cares about the welfare of her countrymen, its culture and traditions.

She put herself at risk to oppose a corrupt, thieving, collectivist military junta stripping the nation and raise the living standards and freedom of the average Burmese. when she did that, the cocktail-circuit, limousine leftists loved her.

Now she is defending the country again, this time against outside attempts to shame Burma into allowing an unchecked flow of culturally different Muslim outsiders, with whom Burma has always had conflict.

If I were President, I would invite her to the White House for a state visit.

“...her government’s persecution of the Muslim minority.” Persecution? Sounds like the verdict is already in. Does that mean democrats run the hearing?

“Persecution” of the moslem minority.

Just how badly do you have to behave to get a nation of BUDDHISTS so angry with you they throw you out?
