One thing’s for sure, she shouldn’t be in a refugee camp- she’s not a refugee, full stop, she has a place where she can legally and safely return (and she wants to go to). Those desperate few resources in the camp shouldn’t be spent on her and her child.
Right here goes… Traitor to their country? She didn’t join ISIS in order to attack or harm the UK, she did it to fight and support them in the Syrian civil war against the Syrian government.
She joined in 2015. In 2015, we were still supporting the anti-government forces with non-military aid and intelligence. We’d had a vote in parliament about lending military support too. Now we never directly supported ISIS but we were working directly against their biggest enemies in the area, so that was a very messy line to draw.
In late 2015, we decided that actually, the anti-government forces were baddies, and decided to enter the war on a different side.
So if the UK government was damn nearly bombing ISIS’s enemies (and would have done if not defeated in the 2013 vote), how horrified can we be that someone went to fight on their side, against the Syrian government which is unquestionably awful and which the governemnt and the UK press had spent the last several years (rightly) criticising?
It’s not a war with goodies and baddies or even neatly 2 sides, it’s a load of awful bastards indiscriminately killing each other in a small room full of innocent bystanders. That’s the bewildering background against which she chose to go to war, same as the UK. I think of all the bastards, she backed the worst but to depict that as “treason” or being anti-UK just seems absurd to me. She’s never (as far as we know) done anything against the UK.
