    It’s not an excuse. Groups and races of people that have been through that sort of thing carry an emotional trauma and pain through generations. Same as black people. Same as even women do. There have been many studies on it, and is grounded in science. Nowhere did I fucking state that what they are doing or have been doing to the Palestine people for the past 80 years is acceptable! I’m saying that it should be looked at more along the lines of a mental illness, and treated as such. Kiss my ass

      If a random lady walks up to you and shoots you and says she’s not to blame because PTSD exists, that’s not an excuse if she’s never experienced trauma or violence, and provably does not have PTSD.

      She can’t claim her aunt is an Afghanistan vet and her brother got the shit beaten out of him by a crappy boyfriend. Neither of those things were her experiences. She does not get to fucking appropriate that shit, and neither do the kapostani filth.

      But the kapostanis didn’t go through that. They are not, and have never been, victims. This does not apply to them. Full stop.
