¡¡Palestina será libre desde el río hasta el mar!!

The British starved Ireland and then cited Irish poverty as evidence of Irish inferiority. The Belgians extracted the Congo’s resources for a century and then cited Congolese underdevelopment as evidence that Africans needed to be governed. The Americans sanctioned Cuba for 66 years and then cited Cuban economic difficulties as evidence that socialism doesn’t work. The structure is the same. It has always been the same. You remove the conditions necessary for success. You wait. You point. You conclude. The only thing that changes across centuries and continents is who’s being pointed at.
