On 1 hand: Cruel & illegal to keep trapping defenseless Syrian civilians behind Turkish border as Assad govt & Russia kill them. Turkey can't stop the killing alone.

On other: Turkey's plan to "open floodgates" portrays these humans as a danger & a weapon rather than our equals. https://t.co/T6Byco3Jhy
