The gazans are oppressed because they can’t form strong institutions?
1) victim blaming
2) why can’t they form strong institutions? (I’m sure it’s nothing to do with putting them in a ghetto where nobody can enter or leave without Israel’s say-so, controlling their air and sea, and water supply and electricity, right?)
Your “national socialists” analogy is tortured. a better analogy is the US and their genocide of the native americans.

- atoav 2y agoSo victims by your book are only allowed to speak up if (and only if) they never did anything wrong and showed inhuman restraint in not defending themselves?
- ashoeafoot 2y agoyeah, similar to russia which can not play the "saviour of the oprrssed card" because it showed itself to be monstrous . There are no demonstrations for the dead of isis , the hanged queers in teheran, the genocide in sudan. Its a mimicry of western values with no depth.
- aguaviva 2y agoThere are no demonstrations for the hanged queers in teheran, Actually there've been large demonstrations in major Western cities against the Mullah regime, organized by exile groups, targeting all its forms of oppression, including the persecution of "queers" (not all of whom would agree with that peculiar Western-centric identity that you seem to implicitly assume is univeral, but that's a side matter). Not nearly as frequent as the Palestine protests of course, but they do happen at least a few times a year and their numbers have been quite sizable. If you haven't been aware of this, perhaps you need to start reading from more diverse sources. Or if you happen to live in one of these cities, it might help to get out more often.
