Oh, the racism! Oh, the apartheid!
“SOHR: Iraq building Syria wall to stop ISIS infiltration,” Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, March 28, 2022 (thanks to Henry):
Iraq is building a concrete wall along part of its border with Syria to stop “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria” (ISIS) elements from infiltrating, an Iraqi military source said Sunday (March 27).
In the “first stage” of construction, a wall about “a dozen kilometres long and 3.5 metres high was built in Ninawa province”, in the Sinjar area of northwest Iraq, a senior officer told AFP, requesting anonymity.
Sinjar is home to Iraq’s Yazidi population. When ISIS overran the area in 2014, its fighters abducted many Yazidi women and girls and took them across the border into Syria.
Iraq, which shares a more than 600km-long border with Syria, seeks to put a stop to the infiltration of ISIS elements into its territory, the source said, without specifying how long the wall would eventually run….

Iraq gets to build a wall, but the US is not allowed? Did I miss something as to why walls do not work at stopping illegals?

“The days of hiding behind borders and fences are long gone. We have to work together and cooperate together to make a better world. …States have to become more open states, in terms of the people who inhabit them;… sovereignty is an illusion… sovereignty is an absolute illusion that has to be put behind us.”

Of course, no one will mention such things in this case…

Which country does one think produces more jihadists? Iraq or Syria? Which one should fear the other’s jihadists?

Another case of a blatant act of Islamophobia!
