And, surprise, no mention of this that I can see at the UNHCR website. The persecution and murder of Christians in Iraq goes on while the UN High Commissioner for Refugees continues news story after news story about the “persecuted” Iraqi Palestinians.
This is from the Asia News:
Mosul (AsiaNews) – Mosul Christians have been attacked again today. A group of armed men stormed a house in the Alqahira neighbourhood where they killed two sisters in what amounts to targeting killing. After entering the building the gunmen shot the two young women in cold blood and wounded their mother with a knife. At present she is in hospital but her conditions are not serious. The husband and the son were able to escape at the start of the attack.

A source told AsiaNews that “youth gangs from poor families” were involved in the incident but that behind them there is “a criminal organisation” that is doing everything to drive Christians out of the city.
However, the UNHCR puts out international press releases about the rain in Palestinian camps on the Iraq Syria border. And, the death of one Palestinian child accidentally run over by a truck “highlights” the tragedy of the Iraqi Palestinians.
What about the tragedy when Muslim terrorists kill girls in their homes? Doesn’t that warrant an international press release? Urghhhh!
Asia News wraps up its story with this:
In recent days more than 700 families had decided to come back to Mosul after local authorities promised to provide them with greater protection. This targeted killing “will push Christians to flee again” and threats of new attacks and violence will continue to hang over the few who remain.
