HOW OPPRESSORS DEHUMANIZE THEIR VICTIMS
Since time immemorial, oppressors have dehumanized their victims. The downtrodden are made to appear like sub-humans that are not deserving of any sympathy nor that they have the right to be treated with dignity. Slave owners in the West justified their cruel system by portraying Africans as beasts of burden who could endure the degrading and inhuman treatment to which they were subjected. The same mentality was used during colonial times in Africa. Colonisers claimed Africans were incapable of governing themselves, hence, the need to place them under colonial control.
In this September 2002 clip, a year after the September 11 attacks that were used to justify the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, Indian author and political activist Arundhati Roy spoke in Santa Fe, USA, about how Western and several Israeli leaders have repeatedly dehumanized non-white people, such as Palestinians, the indigenous peoples of the Americas and Australia's aboriginal peoples.
Let us know what you think of Roy's remarks.

We published Israel & The Myth of Self Defence 1 year ago.
Last night Israel burned men, women and children alive.
It was as obvious then as it is now:
It's not about Self Defence, it's about Extermination
At least 9 people have been killed and over 3000 injured after Israel blew up thousands of pagers in Lebanon.
Benjamin Netanyahu wants to expand the genocide and set the entire region on fire.
Everyone should be hoping for his downfall.

The police did NOTHING!
This is how they treat peacemakers in Congress – like criminals, while war criminals are lauded for their actions. And when Congressman Jerry Nadler, ranking Democrat on the judiciary committee, walks by, he refuses to look or respond to our plea to stop sending weapons to Israel.
🚨 Amid skyrocketing anti-Palestinian hatred, it is time for the @JustinTrudeau government to finally define and fight anti-Palestinian racism. Tell @KamalKheraLib to include APR in the upcoming version of Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy: https://t.co/Nrx8otzNnm @CdnHeritage
