Among the 298 passengers aboard flight MH-17 were AIDS researchers and advocates on their way to the International Aids Conference, including Dr. Joep M. Lange, a high-profile AIDS expert who had devoted much of his life to combatting the disease.
During a press conference at the White House on Friday, President Obama expressed dismay at the loss of the researchers: "These were men and women who had dedicated their own lives to saving the lives of others, and they were taken from us in a senseless act of violence. In this world today, we shouldn't forget that in the midst of conflict and killing, there are people like these. People who are focused on what can be built, rather than what can be destroyed. People who are focused on how they can help people they've never met. People who define themselves not by what makes them different than other people, but by the humanity that we hold in common."
“President Obama politicizes this event to turn it into an opportunity to advocate for the normalization of sexual deviancy."
Further, Obama said, the US is "going to continue to stand for the basic principle that people have a right to live as they choose, that nations have the right to determine their own destiny, and that when terrible events like this occur, the international community stands on the side of justice and on the side of truth."
