Shining some light on darkness

A United Nations panel has discovered that North Korea exterminates and starves its own citizens, and abducts individuals in South Korea and Japan. The report is coming out Monday. Don't worry, though, China will block any action against its Communist ally. No, wait a minute: John Kerry says he's got it all under control.

China, of course, sends people back to North Korea, if they flee North Korea into China. In North Korea's prisons, they don't bother with abortions. They wait until the baby is born, then force the mother to drown the baby.

Has anyone seen Dennis Rodman? Oh, there he is, drunk on Kim Jong-un's couch.

The Guardian refers to the nation as Stalinist. I thought Stalin was a hero to the Left!

Palestinians starving in Syria

When Palestinians die in other countries, does anyone notice? Or is it just when they have difficulties in Israel? Khaled Abu Toameh writes,

Palestinians are being starved to death. But this is not happening in the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Nor is it taking place in Israel.

Rather, this is happening in an Arab country, Syria, while the international community continues to turn a blind eye to the tragedy.

According to reports from Syria, some 20,000 Palestinians living in Yarmouk face death from starvation as a result of the siege on the camp that began last July.

The Palestinians once again feel betrayed by their Arab brothers, who continue to pay lip service to the Palestinian cause while at the same time starving them to death, killing them and displacing them.

As for the international community, no one seems to be worried about the starving Palestinians in an Arab country. After all, this is not taking place in Israel and no Israelis are involved.
