Obviously I've shortened what's being said majorly (it's a 4 minute clip), but I can't believe she actually responded like this to her.
What an absolutely awful person; I realize they have to set the narrative but you're talking to an actual human being who's lost so many members of their family in a horrific manner and who was suffering PTSD from the horrors of living in Gaza under the occupation, are you actually this psychotic or are you just following a set plan that rigidly? Considering she only got one sentence out I'm inclined to believe there's a list of talking points to follow but she realized she couldn't keep down that path without seeming any more of an actual monster.
Fanon talks about how colonizers dehumanize themselves when they dehumanize the colonized and we see this play out in this conflict. Hamas is blamed for Israel wildly lashing out and commiting war crimes and engaging in genocide because Zionists dehumanize themselves into monsters, even as they dehumanize Palestinians into animals. In this way, Zionists see themselves as blameless because they're not human.
This reminds me a little of how bell hooks talks about men first being demanded by the patriarchy to do violence against themselves, to not relate to others on a basis of mutuality but something closer to a predator/prey relationship. Perhaps this is a common feature for social majority populations.
Where did Fanon talk about this?
The Wretched of the Earth, he talks about how the colonozed reclaim their humanity through struggle, but he also talks about how colonizers imagine themselves as inhuman gods and how anticolonial struggle rehumanizes them by bringing them back down to Earth.
My spin, that the colonizers are monsters, is editorializing.
I really need to re-read that old book. It's obvious that I don't remember a single thing from it...
