- Title
Prisoners of Context.
- Authors
DAVIDSON, LAWRENCE
- Abstract
The article discusses the concept of context and how it shapes individual and group behavior. It provides three examples of behavior driven by context, including Israeli Jewish teenagers cheering the destruction of a Bedouin village, Israeli children making cruel videos mocking Palestinians, and Israeli children singing a song celebrating the bombing of Gaza. The author argues that these behaviors are a result of the dominant context in which these individuals were raised, which includes a nationalist narrative that justifies their actions. The article also criticizes Joe Biden for his blindspot regarding Israeli policies and argues that he is complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
