life sounds pretty awesome in palestine. its not True squalour we're talking about here, probably v few people literally die of cholera or dysentery or starvation. a brutal bullet or blackjack to the brain at the hands of a glorified riot cop is hardly comparable. in Palestine there's just enough pressure, indignity, and hardship suffered at the hands of the israelis that the sense of pomo ennui or fin-de-foi under which we whites languish just cannot gain a toehold. community spirit flourishes where hatreds are shared. if Israel ceased to exist, Palestine would have to invent it

It's pretty well demonstrated that by many standards our black neighbors in the USAian urban environment have it worse off than Palestinians

one time me and discipline (ok, discipline and i) were drinking milkshakes at a diner and we were talking and laughing and she said i was being too rowdy so i smeared a bunch of milkshake (strawberry) all over my face and went "OH YEAH IM SOO EMBARRASSED TO BE BEHAVING SO FOOLISHLY IN PUBLIC" and a bunch of milkshake (chocolate) shot out of her nose and she started coughing and spluttering while laughing and everybody was staring at us so we paid really quickly and staggered out while guffawing loudly

he palestinian gdp per capita (PPP) is $2300 but yes the life expectancy of a palestinian is 2.5 years higher than an african american. one fifth of the palestinian population has been in prison and I'm not for sure but I think it's about the same for african americans. literacy rates among african americans are higher than they are here (about 7-8%). unemployment is way higher here than among african americans. pretty sure african americans have more access to calories as well. I don't know what standards you're talking about besides life expectancy. I guess things can seem pretty good when you pass your time making merry with the rich in ramallah but once you're out of the bubble it's pretty bad and don't even get me started on gaza



ya i wasn't talking about gaza. also its just life expectancy / imrpisonment. for african american men younger than 35 it is quite worse, iirc
