It’s fine for Brits to go and join an army that is committing war crimes in Gaza but a brown skinned non-combatant loses her citizenship for the crime of going to Syria and marrying an ISIS militant.
While I think it’s ridiculous to strip her of citizenship - she’s our problem, we should be dealing with her, and we’re also making her stateless - it’s pretty obvious that the law will treat you differently if you join an organisation that is at war with the government vs one that isn’t. Even when both organisations act heinously.

The double standards are obvious.

Thanks for posting this. I was trying to work out how to word it. You did a way better job then I would have.
