On Thursday, Secretary of State John Kerry finally announced that ISIS is guilty of genocide.

“My purpose in appearing before you today is to assert that, in my judgment, Daesh [Kerry’s preferred term for ISIS] is responsible for genocide against groups in areas under its control, including Yazidis, Christians, and Shia Muslims,” he stated at a press conference. “Daesh is genocidal by self-proclamation, by ideology and by actions, and what it says, what it believes, by what it does.”
