Americans are getting a small taste of their own medicine. This is barely 1% of what Iraqis and Afghanis have been going through for two decades. The curfews, the beatings, the manhandling, the arrests, the chaos. Imagine the artillery, drone strikes, shootings, explosions, (1/3)
the raids at night, soldiers waving guns in your faces, arresting your family, telling you when and where you can go. It’s not pretty is it? You don’t like to hear it, but it’s true. This is what your occupations feel like. This is the terror inflicted on others. (2/3)
Now obviously, I’m not saying anyone deserves that, but remember these feelings when you think of the Middle East. And be outraged about George Floyd. Be outraged at the system, at the injustice, at the white supremacy. They are the same oppressors. Show them no mercy.
