    People in Gaza might refer to themselves as “people of Gaza.” And there’s aid groups with the name. And plenty of other instances where it’s used to humanize them (seems so to me at least). I’ve already done more work looking for this theory to line up than the ones proposing the theory.

    Nobody spends their free time looking shit up anymore do they? Throw me a bone here. Give me a white paper study on just how, precisely, Obama is dehumanizing gazans through his speech patterns. I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m saying I’d like to be right. But being right takes effort. Evidence.

      “Might” doing a whole lot of work here lol, you’re asking other people to provide you with academic sources but you can’t even be bothered to find a single example to support your disingenuous speculation? Fuck a cactus

      For me it is the equivocation more than anything else. And you just have to look at how the west treats single, child-free adults to see how they prioritize families as morally superior. There is something charged about the word family in that context.

      Prove it. Show your work.
