    Palestinians have to be a “perfect victim” to be even the slightest bit sympathetic, and even then it’s not a guarantee.

      Such is western liberalism; the only correct action is to be subjugated under imperialist rule. Only then will you deserve pity, and pity is all you’ll get.

            It wouldn’t be surprising since he’s the same guy that went on hunger strikes whenever his people would violently oppose the British.

            Yeah, Gandhi is a shithead propped up because the liberal view if passive submission to state violence is politically useful for maintaining control. The British really gave up in India because Gandhi said he was no longer going to tell the armed factions not to fight, and the Brits decided they couldn’t afford to fight a real rebellion.
