Response Paragraph: Reaction - Amnesty International

The Amnesty International USA website's "refugee" section talks about Iraq's displacement crisis. Many refugees are struggling to survive outside of Iraq. Although some of them have been allowed to stay in other countries temporarily, they still fear going back to Iraq, where they could face death threats and worse. The Palestinian group is probably being hit the hardest. They have been specifically targeted and are not even allowed to leave the area.

I feel that the treatment people in Iraq are receiving is terrible and disgraceful. Although I know it's almost impossible, I wish for peace, or at least no wars or fighting. Some people are forced to flee just because of their religion! Even though some may think that people who believe in other religions are "stupid," that does not give them the right to treat others so harshly with death threats and more.I also believe that everyone should be allowed to choose where they want to live. Palestinians should not be forced to stay in Iraq. They also should not be denied access to other countries. In addition, I feel bad for those who have lost relatives and friends due to the fierce attacks in Iraq. However, I believe that Amnesty International is doing the right thing by trying to help these poor people resettle in safer places. I hope that the people in Iraq who are suffering because of this "displacement crisis" will soon have a nice place to live in and lead a successful life.
