The Palestine Mental Health Network is urging mental health professionals to resign from the International Psychoanalytical Association over the organization’s anti-Palestinian bias.
It condemned Hamas and deployed psychoanalytic theory — splitting, projection, the death instinct — to pathologize Palestinian resistance as “the unrestrained release of the death instinct.”
Ah yes, when brown people try to resist oppression it’s an “unrestrained release of the death instinct”. But, apparently, when Israelis murder, rape, and torture innocent civilians lifelessly it’s “the IPA is subject to legal and regulatory constraints that limit its ability to make political statements”. I wonder why…
Twenty days into Israel’s assault, after thousands of Palestinians had already been killed, IPA President Harriet Wolfe acknowledged the suffering of “non-terrorist Palestinians."
I hope these people burn in the deepest depths of hell

Their resistance is a sign of mental illness. The normal thing would be to just sit still, and let Israel bomb them to smithereens. Got it.
