Iraqi MP Pleads: Save Yazidis from Genocide

◼ ‘My People Are Being Slaughtered!’ Iraqi Parliamentarian, Archbishop Confirm ISIS Committing ‘Genocide’ - CNS

An Iraqi Member of Parliament named Vian Dakhil made an impassioned plea before the Iraqi Parliament Tuesday, begging them in tears to save the Yazidis from genocide, and a Syrian Orthodox Archbisop confirmed the atrocities being committed in two videos translated by MEMRI TV....

“What is happening today in Iraq is genocide,” said Archbishop Daoud unequivocally. He said he kept silent out of fear of reprisals against Christians that remained in Mosul, but: “now there are no longer any Christians in Mosul, they have been driven from their homes and forced, in an arbitrary, terrorist and brutal manner to leave the city…”

“What is happening, or what has happened to us… to all the Christians of all sects in Mosul can be described in a single word: genocide. That’s right. I’d like to emphasize the word ‘genocide’ or ‘ethnic cleansing,’” said Archbishop Daoud.
