Document Summary

Human is not a fact, but a goal. Most people spend most of their lives trying to achieve human status and prove they are human. Project nim: line between human and chimpanzee is not as defined as previously suggested, but no matter how blurry the line gets there are still obvious differences between humans and chimps. Palestinians have to go to all sorts of lengths to demonstrate that they are human so they have access to human rights (see reading by allen) They do this by showing their own suffering and how they are harmed. They numb us, evoke sympathy, inspire us to take action, reinforces notion of these people suffering (only image you see so it is all you know) Paradoxical self objectification bc they are trying to present themselves as human but it shows them as a type of object.
