Konflikten i Syrien

Det är detta som är problemet. Att turkiska sjukhus tar emot krigare är inte något nytt. Det är standard och det gäller alla. Varedna människa som är skadad och kommer till gränsen måste dem vårda. Det görs ingen skillnad på jihadist IS eller FSA. Men det som sticker ut och är iögonfallande är just dem här fallen där allvarligt skadade YPG krigare inte släpps in och dör på grund av det vid gränsen.

Sedan så säger du att humanitärhjälp kommer till Kobane kontinuerligt ifrån Turkiet, men detta stämmer inte och det stod heller inte något om det i artikeln. Det är ett faktum att ingenting överhuvudtaget kommer in i Kobane via Turkiet och så har det varit i ett och ett halvt år. För tjugo dagar sedan så släpptes in en välgörenhetsorganisation med ankyttning till Barazani. Mat, vatten och mediciner är en bristvara i Kobane nu.

Yetkililer ayrıca Kobani’de ihtiyaç duyulan insani yardımların da çatışmalara rağmen düzenli olarak gönderilmeye devam edildiğini de bildirdi.

Doctors, parliamentarians, ambulance drivers, security guards, lawyers and activists say between seven and 13 wounded Kurdish militants died after being kept for hours at the Mürşitpınar border crossıng last week during the worst fighting.

Another doctor at Suruç said he saw a total of 13 dead militants whose passage to hospital had been hampered, including five on the night of Oct. 8.

"Patients not being allowed across the border was our biggest challenge. They would arbitrarily be blocked. We would face insults when we went to collect them," said the doctor, who added that the situation had improved in recent days.

Det finns ingenting som säger att Hurriyet är mer trovärdig än andra turkiska tidningar, inte för oss icke-turkar i alla fall.

By the 1990’s Israel was established as a destination country for trafficking, and international sex trafficking victims had replaced the local market. Israel’s flesh trade was booming and making between half a billion to three quarters of a billion dollars a year. It was a particularly desirable market for traffickers because the purchase of sexual services was, and still is, legal in Israel. This protects traffickers because it makes it difficult to prosecute them and to identify their victims. Throughout the 1990’s traffickers acted with impunity and, according to the Hotline for Migrant Workers, smuggled 3,000 women annually into Israel.

The women arrived largely from the former Soviet Union, but a small percentage came from South America and Asia. The countries of origin shared two common denominators: a dire economic situation and women desperate to provide for themselves and their families. Traffickers promised women work as au pairs, waitresses, or medical masseuses. A few were told that they would work as exotic dancers and fewer were told that they would be prostituted. No one was told that upon arriving in Israel their documents would be confiscated and they would be bought, raped, and transported to brothels where they would service between 15 to 20 men a day.

By the late 1990’s, sex trafficking to Israel had reached such dizzying heights that the world began to take notice. In 2001, the US State Department released its first Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report and ranked Israel as a Tier 3 Nation – the report’s lowest possible ranking. A Tier 3 country is defined by its high level of trafficking and its failure to take significant strides to combat it.

Israel’s ranking was a public shaming at the hands of its most prominent ally. Moreover, it carried potentially massive economic consequences. According to the U.S.’s Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, Tier 3 nations would be subjected to strict economic sanctions. As Israel receives $3.1 billion in annual assistance from the U.S., the fallout would have been explosive.
