Was literally told today that Palestinians are violent because arabs are just violent and can't stop killing each other.

This is maddening.

    The average Burgerlander's perception of the entire Middle East is an eerie desert camera filter and exotic scary music that'd be on a Call of Duty map.

        A lot of Burgerlanders worship the concept of the place you live and romanticize the people living there as macho caricatures that say c--t to everyone at all times including their mums, and want that to be their justification to say it toward feeemales they don't like here in Burgerland. galaxy-brain

    It's textbook orientalism. Its a western tradition stemming from before the US was even born.

    Yes it's all the same tropes but wrapped in a protective false consciousness of what Judaism is. Seeing people around me easily return to voicing their racist bloodlust against brown people. They're too ignorant to even process what Arab or Muslim means, they don't really distinguish brown people.

    I was told asking the question “what else where they supposed to do?” as posed by Finkelstein shows that my entire body of thought is rotten to the core.

    It seems to be the new talking point “reevaluate your values”. Genocide is good sometimes when you’re really upset
