BLAMING THE VICTIM

blame the victim

This Administration as many in our society continually blame the victim whether it be through conscious words or subconscious act.  That is why it’s so difficult for them to use the word “Islamic Extremist” or state “Anti-Semitic acts” because they feel that if maybe they had more love or better economic opportunities they wouldn’t be “extremist”. Many of us live a similar lie as we see that evil acts must have a clear rationale. We look to the victim as somehow provoking such an action. If Israel gave up more land (even though they gave up the Gaza Strip for nothing), if they didn’t pick on him (although some of our greatest entrepreneur’s were bullied) if we left them alone (although we didn’t bother with Al Qaeda until they attacked us) if only they had better opportunities (we know how the poor in India live in peace)  but none of these rational will extinguish evil.   We know people who have gone through worse circumstances and never acted out in such an evil way.  We should always seek to improve society for all but must realize that evil act because it is evil. Therefore we must name that evil act be specific about the act they’ve committed and wipe that evil of the face of the earth.
