The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians
nytimes.comThanks for posting… it’s important to talk about given the new SV stance that “western civilization” is morally superior to cultures we are at war with… this is as heinous as it gets. There’s nothing superior about it.
Exactly. Instead we've seen silence, or if not silence, victim blaming. The West, over the last few years, has expected perfect victims. Essentially "shut up and take it", implying that there has been no peaceful demonstrations for their plight, and shifting blame by obscuring historical facts.
Extreme double standards has been plainly exposed since October 7th. These double standards were there before October 7th, but they were more subtle, and not so amplified due to less exposure.
