This isn't a "look over there" moment either, since Israel has its share of problems.

It shouldn't be that way, but apparently, developing counties can't be expected to treat their people decently? That it is always someone else's fault that they can't treat their people with dignity and respect?

Is that what we should draw as a conclusion?
