We agree that we are all human beings. So why do many groups of people seem to need to target another group as their enemies?
In Iraq, the Yazidi were the chosen victims. In Ethiopia, fellow Ethiopians, the Eritreans, directed their hatred at the rest of the Ethiopians. The Chinese chose their Muslim citizens which included the Uighurs and other Muslims. The Burmese, who we always think of as peaceful people, targeted the Rohingya. Some Pakistanis murdered a group of Hazaras because of the difference in their cultures. And in India the Hindus went after the Christian Indians.
And so it goes. An endless circle of tears and grief.
