    Ok I want to start by saying I agree with you in principle. I’m not commenting on substance, but on form. I know this metaphor. It’s provocative and is used frequently. But I don’t love the idea of comparing Palestinians to dogs. Is there any way it can be tweaked to not refer to an oppressed people as animals?

    I don’t comment this directly at you either. I’m asking the broader Lemmy community. Can we workshop an adjustment?

        Maybe label it as a camp where people of a specific ethnicity are gathered, or concentrated, and not allowed to leave.
