The victim's licence

Our fairytale version of Rwanda's genocide has allowed us to overlook

I first encountered the phenomenon of Victim's Licence when arguing on
a radio show with a British importer of mahogany from the Amazon. I
had pointed out that the timber cutters who supplied him were hiring
gunmen to shoot indigenous people. "Well," he replied, "life is cheap
in Brazil." I told him that was a shocking thing to say. "Don't you
lecture me about human rights," he snapped. "My parents were killed in
the Holocaust."
