      It’s perfectly consistent when you remember, she doesn’t think Palestinians are people.

      A normal person who knew anything about childhood trauma, would know that subjecting hundreds of thousands of children to this kind of displacement and bombardment, that keeping them out of school for over a month, and killing people around them, is traumatic AF. As it stands, practically every child in the Gaza strip has PTSD that would make The most battle experienced, mentally broken Western veteran off themselves. A Vietnam veteran, haunted by waking nightmares, experiencing flashbacks, who pisses themselves whenever a car backfires, has seen an eighth of what the average 4-year-old in Gaza has seen.

      But, this colonizing monster doesn’t think they’re really people.

        and someone who had never even heard the word trauma could make a reasonable guess

      I mean… She has a doctorate of philosophy in neuroscience. It’s one of the liberal arts degrees that in my opinion likes to drape itself in the robes of hard science.

      In my experience people with this schooling are overconfident in their personal theory of the mind. When a MD would likely say this could possibly be a component of your ailment, a PHD would be more likely to claim it’s the cause of all problems in neuroscience.
