.@hbdchick but why oh why didn't they stay in turkey? =(
(yeah, "kurdi" means they're prolly kurdish.)
the kurdi family (drowned toddler) were from kobane, so they may very well have been genuine refugees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koban%C3%AE_massacre …

@hbdchick Kurds are pretty safe in Iraq & Iran. -
@un_pellegrino not in kobane, they weren't. =/ -
@hbdchick Kobane was Syria. Until a few months ago Turkey was very safe for Kurds. Still essentially is, as is Iraq. And Iran. -
@un_pellegrino i know. but the kurdi family were from kobane, where there was a massacre by i.s. thus, they may've been genuine refugees. -
@hbdchick they were hoping to use the crisis to be able to immigrate to Germany.https://twitter.com/christopherhope/status/639468704250634240 …
