Israeli Human Rights Organizations Ripped for White Privilege

When it comes to biting the hand that feeds them, the palestinian Arabs are at the top of their game. And it would seem some of the most delicious game are Israeli human rights organizations, which spend so much time stabbing their own people in the back (figuratively speaking) while enabling the palestinian Arabs to do so literally.
In recent years, people of colour working in the human rights and international development sector have called on NGOs and agencies to examine institutional racism, and to look at how their structures, discourses and programmes reinforce colonialism and white supremacy.
ICONS, eh? The word is over-used. Maybe, at this point in the series, I should look up what it means. I’ve several prestigious dictionaries on my shelves – Oxford, Chambers, Lidl – but as I can’t be bothered getting out of my seat to look at them, I’ll just Google it. “A devotional painting, usually on wood, of Christ.” Crikey, so to say. That’s not it. “A small picture or sign on a computer screen.” Nope. Here’s something: “A person or thing regarded as a representative symbol”. Well, it’s close, I suppose. Here’s my definition from Rab’s Concise Dictionary for Dafties (RCDD): “Something that is recognised as, er, a thing in Scottish cultural or historical life, ken?” Thus: Outlander.
