    Polish border guards regularly hunt refugees from the middle east (Belarus flies them in as the EU has promised to accept all refugees from Belarus)

    the news was at one point framing this as Belarus's fault exclusively as if subjecting refugees to the Polish border guards was the same as letting them loose in a forest with wolves framing the Polish as having no agency in the matter of them hunting refugees in the same woods the Nazis hunted Jews

        They were used as pawns. Belarus was refusing to allow the refugees to to back to Belarus or even their own countries for a while but then eventually sheltered them. Not sure what happened since

        It's not as nice as you think. Belarus was trying to fuck with it's neighbours by tricking people by saying that they are accepting everyone at border crossings, then preventing them from turning back when they arrive and realize that it wasn't true.
