      If you faced weekly barrage of bombs, suicide bombings and more, wouldn't you get on a boat to anywhere to give your kids a chance at life?

      Like in Baghdad, Iraq, just days ago, children were the target. This is all so horrific, and no signs of abating.https://twitter.com/shaistaaziz/status/714119304774557697 …

      When I talk about the plight of refugee children, someone always says "but we can't let them grow up here." Clear message: "let them drown."

      ISIS and offshoots is clearly targeting children in Iraq, in Lahore. Tourists in Istanbul, passengers in Brussels, concert-goers in Paris.

      In response to terror refugees fleeing similar terror and worse are vilified even more. This is horribly depressing.

      YES, the refugee flow should have been managed. with a fairer sharing of the burden. What's happened is worse of all worlds.

      Refugee vilification is not new. During World War II, US refused Jewish refugee children, officials said they'd grow up to be "ugly adults."

      Putting the refugee burden on few, stressed countries is lousy policy. Rampant racism didn't work too well for Europe the last time around.
