THIS past May, the United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the government’s “zero tolerance” policy at US border crossings.
It was a matter of weeks before the new policy began yielding tragic outcomes. Those attempting to unlawfully cross into the US were subject to federal criminal prosecution, while their children were taken away by federal authorities, which placed them in cage-like facilities.
Expectedly, the policy caused outrage and was eventually reversed. However, many of those who have chastised the administration of President Donald Trump seem wilfully ignorant of the fact that Israel has been carrying out far worse practices against Palestinians.
