More Refugees Drown Babies and Children Amongst the Dead, Nazi Fascism is Reborn
By Sodium Haze
September 14, 2015 "Information Clearing House" - "Sodium Haze" - It is with a heavy heart that we read of the deaths of more desperate refugees this morning their overcrowded boat capsized off the coast of a Greek island in high winds.
At least 34 people are dead 15 of them babies and children.
At time of writing the report was buried well out of sight on The Guardian website. Early online commenters on the news didnt miss the opportunity to swiftly pump out the usual hateful tropes about open borders and bombing Syria without a flicker of concern for the dead. Im not surprised they expressed no concern because they had none.
Let us be under no illusions about what is happening here. All of those deaths were preventable.
I said in this article following the death of Aylan Kurdi that:
Right now other children are on their way with desperate families to other boats waiting in the Mediterranean and if we dont act now more will die.
and here we are.
This is not a tragedy it is policy. Europe as a collective had the resources to save those lives but decided they were expendable their desperate plight was politically inconvenient and it was easier to let them drown than have the basic decency and moral courage to save them.
Nazi Fascism is reborn in Europe doing nothing to save those people when we knew, we knew they would be on that boat can be called nothing else.
Of course all manner of self serving justifications and obfuscations will be deployed by politicians, the media and casual fascists to reinforce the moral case for our continued indifference such arguments will be familiar to anyone studying the history of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
