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

This is maddening.

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

because "arabs are just violent and can't stop killing each other"

the denizens of the eur*pean🤮 continent and their descendants have never stopped being violent animals who project their barbarity onto other peoples

I don't want to compare the racism I face with others and say mine is worse, because obviously that's just stupid. But anti-arab racism and islamophobia in the western world is overt in a way you don't really see outside of hatred of travelers/romani. At least the average westerner is somewhat cognizant of the fact that they should hide their other ethnic prejudices better.

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.

Sounds like the liberal narrative

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
