While the child-parent separation of asylum seekers at the southern U.S. border is closer to home for Americans, the United States has had a longstanding foreign policy of separating thousands of children from their parents on a daily basis.

Abstract:

Excerpt:

Barely two weeks ago, Amnesty International released an explosive report which called the US-led operation in Raqqa a "war of annihilation." The report details four further cases of civilian families who lost 90 relatives and neighbors. One family lost 39 members in total, all of them by coalition airstrikes. Just to get an overall picture of this grotesque display of violence, at the time Reuters described the plight of one resident in Raqqa who came outside to find several of his neighbors lying dead on the street, with cats eating the corpses.

It later transpired that the US was doing all of this while allowing thousands of ISIS fighters to escape safely from Raqqa in order to head to Deir Ez-Zor, Syria's most oil-rich region.
