Hillary Clinton Finally Decides Christians are Suffering Genocide
How nice of Hillary.
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday called the killing of Christians and other religious groups in the Middle East a “genocide” -— a term she had previously been reluctant to use.
“Yes, I will now. I will because we now have enough evidence,” Clinton told a man during atown hall at Berlin High School, who asked whether she would join the Pope and other religious and political leaders in using the term.
What "new evidence" suddenly showed up to change her mind?
The statistics have been there for some time now. ISIS has been at it ever since it began its campaign in Syria.
In July, Pope Francis used the term “genocide” to describe the killing of Christians in the Middle East.
Earlier this month, President Obama released a statement about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East, describing the “brutal atrocities committed against these communities by ISIL,” but did not use the term genocide.
Of course not. Only Muslims can really suffer. When Christians are killed, they are "these communities". When Jews are killed, they're "random folks in a deli". But when a Muslim gets a dirty look, it's an Islamophobic crisis that is immediately on the front page of every newspaper and requires immediate intervention by the Attorney General. Not to mention an Obama speech.
Tonight, Clinton said she had been asked to use the term a few months ago, but declined then.
"I said, you know that term carries with it, legal import. It’s a very important concept and label for behavior that deserves that name. And I said we are only beginning to see this and I’m not sure yet we have enough evidence,” she said, "I’m sure now we have enough evidence.”
So is ISIS is killing more Christians now than it was a few months ago? What missing evidence did Hillary suddenly come up with? Or is she just worried enough about a Webb independent run that she decided to admit what everyone knew last year?
