Suu Kyi: Once you stop slaughtering your own people, you can then start lecturing the rest of the world.
Kestrel
Quite correct Suu Kyi.

It is surreal that the Western media portray the Rohinga islamist terrorists as angels.
Alas, the echo chamber buys these lies.
Kestrel
The fake news msm completely ignores the violence and terrorism of the Rakhine, and in its self congratulatory virtue signalling blames Suu Kyi and the Burmese government. Sickening.

I’ve read about Islamist terrorists among the Rohinga in the western media but as zichi points out, the idea of collective punishment is abhorrent.
What do you and Kestrel recommend people read to escape the fake news MSM on this topic and others? You keep telling us not to read this stuff without offering alternatives.

So according to the article the army is fighting both Rohingya terrorists and ethnic Buddhist Rakhine terrorists?
Aly Rustom
She's slaughtering people and THEY'RE the terrorists??
exactly. well said

Unfortunately, she has too much baggage from being a political prisoner. If she was pie then she stayed in the oven too long because she is too hard and bitter.

She is transparently disingenuous: as a Burmese she knows quite well that, when necessary, the ethnic minorities in her country have often had to use violence in order to protect themselves from the horrific attacks and ruthless depradations of the fascist Burmese military. There is no way to excuse her hypocrisy common to all government people who like to play the victim and accuse anyone who defies their laws and orders as "terrorists". Governments always resort to this same lame justification for the violence with which they terrorize citizens (Hong Kong is a recent example). History will not absolve her.
Jimizo
Well, to be fair, the disgraceful behaviour of Myanmar’s army doesn’t mean there aren’t Islamist terrorists among the Rohingya.

Insecure leader only validate their insecurities
Aly Rustom
fair enough but that doesn't excuse ethnic genocide
Jimizo
Exactly right. I’m just wondering if Kestrel or WilliB think it does.

Maybe because the world doesn't see one genocide as justified because of another. Sorry, Suu Kyi, you're no better than they are.
