The story here is an age-old struggle of East vs West, and more specifically of Christianity vs Islam.
The parallels with the past, centuries before the Genocide, and the present, are clear. This is a battle that will continue.
I support the US's long overdue stance on the matter. It is important to remember what it symbolizes. I wished we lived in a kinder, gentler world. But we have atrocities occurring all over the globe, even in 2021. The US should standup for marginalized people, wherever they are.
