Sometimes it feels like certain parts of humanity just didn’t really learn all the lessons that they should have from the Holocaust about dehumanizing people.
There’s a reason that countries started agreeing on a set of laws of war, and it wasn’t the goodness of their hearts. It means if your own soldiers get captured by an enemy working under the same rules, they should ideally be treated with at least a minimal standard of care. But every incident like this or Abu Ghraib weakens those protections and norms.
Food, shelter, water, healing body, mind and spirit is the justice. When we seek retribution, we seek “just us,” if every “race” or whatever false construct we use to “other,”, it’s swallowing poison and expecting others to die, with apologies to the Buddha.
