Return Isis children - Yes - Their parents - No

Belgium returned six children of ISIS / Daesh fighters back to Belgium. I agree. These children are victims of parents of whom some kidnapped their own daughters so they could be raped to produce children to kill while others were born out the devils pact parents signed to breed children to indoctrinate so they will fight till death. And thus, children are victims and should be helped. Of course, upon their arrival our society needs to reprogram them by telling these children that we want to help them so they can have a good life while their parents wanted them death. Compare with Germany after WWII where children, even adults, were still able to become good people after the defeat of Hitler. And yes, the children will be monitored and supervised.

The question is what to do with the parents. As I wrote earlier (although only recently published), although some people went to Syria to fight against Syria's president Assad as they saw how he slaughtered civilians, even children, by using illegal weapons such as gas, many others went because they think fighting on ISIS' side means fighting a good case. Further, I think that when they fight with Isis this means they unknowingly support Assad's case as often I have the impression Assad and Isis help each other. But, killing innocent people because you think your ideology is the only correct one is wrong and this should be said to children at schools to prevent some may become mad people who think they should fight for the wrong case.

Therefore, I think children of those fighters should be helped to return to safety unless unfortunately, they're too much indoctrinated and may become a danger. However, I think certainly the fighters who went voluntarily should be trialed in the country where they committed crimes against humanity and thus not return them first. Europe can send military judges (it is a war situation) to help local judges while the trials should be public so people can hear what certain people did to other humans. If persons are found guilty and the country decides the penalty is death, let it be. At least people who suffered from those Daesh fighters will have justice while these fighters can't commit new crimes when they return to European countries. Some criminals may even survive when they were good to locals.

What to do with children who may lose parents in these trials? Public trials mean they know why people who suffered from their parents crimes decided their punishment was death in the worse cases. Nuremberg after WWII is the example. Who are we to deny justice to victims of psychopaths of whom many still believe they fight a just war and who will continue to fight until their death? In case another few more attacks by extremists in Europe or America, and certainly when they come from Isis territories, than this may result in a further rise of extreme right in Europe and they may punish everyone, not only those who returned to Europe but any person who looks foreign or defense foreigners or simply is someone they don't like.

And thus, not many countries want to retake their Isis fighters as they remain dangerous so I think they will remain for a while in those camps. If Assad wins the war, I don't think he will have mercy with the foreign Isis fighters unless they are useful to him (while local Daesh fighters may be part of his strategy to sabotage groups that fight against Assad and in the end may reintegrate into Assad's army). Another possibly is that a Western coalition destroys the camps with Isis fighters and their family (but then the West will be seen as evil, certainly when children are victims and thus we should try to prevent harm to children) or locals may do the job when they are fed-up with the terror of Isis and when Isis becomes sufficiently small so ordinary people dare to fight against then (in this case the West is not to blame and thus this may be the ideal solution). Still, I think it is important that innocent children can return home in good circumstances before the Isis fighters may become worse when they notice they are not on the winning side and later Assad's army (in case he wins) may want revenge for the fighting and killing of family and friends.

(18l) Belgium, king Leopold II and Congo

Image
Leopold II in Congo Belgium has a terrible human rights track record because of its second king Leopold II (1835 - 1909) during whose reign millions of people in Congo died. People may say he is not personally responsible but the same can be said of Hitler. However, Leopold II could have ruled only Belgium but this he considered too small and thus he lobbied to gain Congo for himself and succeeded on the condition he would treat its people correct, something he refused to do from day one. Therefore, he is responsible as he actively searched for this expansion to enrich himself so he could enlarge his own glory in his kingdom Belgium with neglect of his "subjects" in Congo. And people in those days had already a conscience because the king had to replace the first ambassador who refused to collaborate to expand the king's personal property.   To have an impression of the terror Leopold ii allowed in Congo is a picture in this article that shows a black father who l

(12z) Don't blame animals for the climate crisis

Image
In today's society, many people comment how animals are a main contributor to climate change. However, we should stop blaming animals for the production of too much methane as they are victims because of the industrialised meat industry and habitat loss due to human activities, and thus the resulting climate change. Animals release methane, but are not responsible for climate change As usual, nowadays many people in comments under articles about climate change accuse animals that they produce too much methane and, although animals release methane (a potent greenhouse gas), humans are mainly to blame as we pack animals together so locally animals produce high levels of methane. Therefore, we should condemn the practice of today's meat industry, an industry whereby animals are considered to be things that are locked up with too many animals in cages that are too small so animals can't move. Therefore, they are given antibiotics to prevent they become ill and thus to prev

Extreme left joins extreme right over Ukraine. Hard to understand

Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov analyses 2023's Russia Russia's Nobel-winning journalist Dmitry Muratov, whose newspaper was closed by the authorities, speaks about Russia's war in Ukraine . Does president Putin have a support base he asks? He answers himself: an enormous one of mainly elderly people who see Putin as their own grandson as they are pleased he wishes them each year "Happy New Year". Many of those elderly wouldn't mind sending their real grandchildren to die for Putin. In contrast, many younger people oppose the war against Ukraine, and many of them are now even imprisoned. So, he hopes the future of Russia will be different.  But yes, while Russian propaganda tries to convince Russians that even nuclear war may be something positive, there are also people in the West who create their own propaganda to justify their support for Russia, and condemn Ukraine because it wants to remain a free democracy, and therefore opposes Russia's invasion.
