A Sense of Doubt blog post #3558 - In the Eyes of this Child - Plea for Humanity



A Sense of Doubt blog post #3558 - In the Eyes of this Child - Plea for Humanity

Would you force this girl's family out of the country and leave her behind?

Would you force her out?

Though this girl is not in the United States, she could be. Her plight as a Syrian refugee is much the same as all the people Trump wants to deport en masse.

It's hateful rhetoric that is deeply racist and sick.

Claiming we should deport all the "criminals" ignores that fact that the number of American citizens, born and raised here, who commit horrible and violent crimes out numbers those crimes committed by undocumented immigrants by a lot: less than half as many.



Why are so many who support Mass Deportation incapable of empathy?



INVESTING IN A STORY: This is Zahra Mahmoud, photographed at 7 in a tent in Jordan in 2018, three years after she and her family had fled Syria. This Photo of the Week was no drive-by image; Nat Geo Explorer Muhammed Muheisen has kept checking in on the conditions of Zahra and her family since they fled war in 2015—and he has done nonprofit work to shed light on the plight of refugees. See this and other iconic images—and their behind-the-scenes stories--from seven award-winning photographers

- Days ago: MOM = 3422 days ago & DAD = 078 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
