Dylan Saba on racist assumptions about Palestinians living in Gaza

It is precisely anti-Palestinian racism that allows people to say that there is no distinction between Palestinians living in Gaza and Hamas, which is exactly the messaging of the Israeli government.  They're saying it openly.  They're saying that they're not treating them differently and they're saying that Gaza is full of terrorists.  That distinction is based on racist assumptions about Palestinians.  It's based on the abiliy to paint Muslims and Arabs and Palestinians with a broad brush, that is to paint them as a threat to Israeli safety and Jewish safety.  So that is what is behind the smears and what allows the naked genocidal rhetoric on the Israeli side and on the U.S. side in supporting these actions.
