Where was the "UN International Court of Justice" when Myanmar's genocide-religiocide targets were Christians? Years before the Rohingya? The ICJ and UN don't have the "clean hands" to be passing judgment.

@PeteS in CA  Thanks for the response to this.

I know in town, we have Karin people, I know they are in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma) I think.  Some of them are Christians.  Otherwise, I know almost nothing on this.

Myanmar was, and still may be, on an ethno-religio-cleansing crusade for quite a few years. The goal was for Myanmar to be all-Burmese, all-Buddhist. The Karens are one persecuted ethnic minority, and many are also Christians. There are refugee camps in northwestern Thailand for Karens and others who have fled Myanmar.
