Report exposes US humanitarian-veiled war crimes

An article published by the China Society for Human Rights Studies on Friday lashed out at the US for severe humanitarian disasters and aggressive wars against foreign countries since the end of World War II, stripping Washington of the human rights highland as the Biden administration tries to wield weapons of “human rights violation” to crack down on Beijing.
The US has waged wars on foreign countries and regions such as North Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria under the banner of humanitarian intervention, causing a massive loss of military lives, serious civilian casualties, as well as property damage, said the article titled “Severe Humanitarian Disasters Caused by US Aggressive Wars against Foreign Countries.”
The G word genocide.
It s been swirling around in the news lately with President Joe Biden officially recognizing the Armenian Genocide as a genocide, over 100 years later.
Last year, I received a minor degree in Holocaust, Genocide and Human Rights Studies, and my interest in the study has not diminished one bit.
Since the establishment of the word genocide post-World War II, one of the most widely overlooked genocides in the history of man is the Native American genocide, which arguably still continues today.

I am a member of a special club, a fraternity and sorority of brothers and sisters who have experienced genocide, and their descendants. It is not an honor that we would wish to bestow on any other community. But because the term “never again” means so little in reality, we have had to bestow it upon so many.
