The Walls of Baghdad: An update of the old plan known as concentration camps
Max is wrong here. This article appears in Commentary, a Zionist publication, which would not want Baghdad's walled ghettos to be equated with fascist Israel's imprisoning of Palestinians behind barriers where they are being slowly exterminated through starvation.

Excerpt
The whole process ought to be familiar to students of counterinsurgency. It is, in essence, an update of the old plan known as “concentration” zones or camps. The latter name causes understandable confusion, since we’re not talking about extermination camps of the kind that Hitler built, but rather of settlements where locals can be moved to live under guard, thereby preventing insurgent infiltration. The British used this strategy in the Boer war, the Americans during the Philippine war, and many other powers took similar steps in many other conflicts. In Vietnam they were known as “strategic hamlets.”
Sorry about the brainfart. The smell's gone now.
is a concentration camp!
It's belligerent and inhumane.
These people are such hypocrites - it's disgusting.
