Tornado Alley (PROG)

"separating children from their families and keeping them in cage-like rooms and then losing track of their families."

"it's just being revealed that police forces around a country have been mistreating minority citizens for decades, murdering a bunch in the process"

I believe the backlash on these things is pretty damned robust. So what is your point?

"a gay Palestinian would be a lot better off in Tel Aviv than in Amman or anywhere else in the Middle East"

Yes, and a black person is arguably better off in New York City or Dallas than in South Sudan, (also somewhat better off than a black Jew in Tel Aviv) but are these the standards we're supposed to hold ourselves to?

A gay Palestinian would also be a lot better off in New York City than any Palestinian at all in Hebron or Ramallah.

The bottom line is that you can't have a democratic society when 6 million of your people have no civil or political rights at all.
