Comment on The Bajoran Resistance hits different

“None of you belonged on Bajor. It wasn’t your world. For fifty years you raped our planet, and you killed our people. You lived on our land, and you took the food out of our mouths, and I don’t care whether you held a phaser in your hand or you ironed shirts for a living. You were all guilty and you were all legitimate targets!” “That’s what makes you a murderer. Indiscriminate killing… no sense of morality… no thought given to the consequences of your action. That’s what makes us different.” “I was a soldier! You’re just a bitter old man out for revenge.” “I am bringing the guilty to justice. And unlike you, I take care to protect the innocent.”

Though I must confess that I am skeptical about scenes like this. In my opinion, DS9 often comes dangerously close to glorifying terrorism, which might have had a more positive reputation in the U.S. in the light of the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan, however, little did they know that they themselves would become the occupiers from the perspective of many people, especially in the Arab world. I doubt that DS9 would have approached terrorism the way it did if it would have been made after 9/11.
