Haaretz exclusive: Organizer of Gaza flotilla sought assistance from Assad's office

62. Identity politics. The Palestinians are hardly the only victim group...

....that can do no wrong. Leftists won't criticize any behavior within the 3rd world as they're all victims, even the dictators in charge who massacre other 3rd world victims (take Sudan's leader as one extreme example, but also Gadaffi and Assad). Cuba, China, and N.Korea as well. Hamas and the PLO are victims too. When they abuse Palestinians (one victimized group of many), it doesn't matter to Leftists b/c Hamas and the PLO are victims.

There's no question whatsoever that's the Left's viewpoint. It's so obvious it's not even debatable, and not one of them will challenge it or condemn such a worldview.

The guilty perpetrators are always the West, the USA, Israel, the Jews, etc. They're blamed for all the bad in the 3rd world. Remnants of colonialism, current capitalist or zionist policies, etc.

It's pure bigotry, as all people are not held to the same standards or expectations. People's morality and criminal behavior is based primarily on the victim group they belong to. Universal human rights are only good for some, not all. Some are more human and more equal than others.

Rightwing humanitarianism at its finest.
