"Like the miserable dog without an owner he is kicked by one because he crosses his path, and cuffed by another because he cries out - to seek redress he is afraid, lest it bring worse upon him; he thinks it better to endure than to live in the expectation of his complaint being revenged upon him." From a report written in 1839.
Perhaps I'm wrong but I don't seem to ever recall any imperialist or colonialist being in such a subservient position. I mean, it's almost as if the Jews were the oppressed group and the Arabs the oppressors. If only they had had intersectionality back then, huh?
