WHEN interviewed on British TV by Andrew Marr, Israeli Health Minister Yuli Edelstein likened Israel making the vaccine available to Palestinians to the Palestinians looking after dolphins — in essence equating Palestinians to animals, not disguised by the choice of animal.
This is not an isolated instance of Israelis talking about Palestinians as lesser people, not just an occupied people, but in some way a caste that doesn’t need to be treated in the same way as other human beings — as “untouchables.”
Israel believes it to be perfectly acceptable not only to withhold the vaccine, but also to dig up Palestinian lands, rip out their trees, maim and kill their youth because they are not entitled to be treated with the same respect as you would expect to be treated yourself.
