Hey World Leaders! Accumulate valuable victimhood credits. Then cash them in for the international sympathy generated by your tragedies! Earn the right to engage in cool forms of barbarism, including torture, random aerial bombardment - even pointless wars! It's easy... and it's fun! After years with a zero balance, the United States earned over 3,000 victimhood credits from the September 11 2001 attacks. Those points earned the U.S. the moral right to invade if Afghanistan and Iraq and open concentration camps! Best of all, Muslims picked up 200,000 new credits to use as they see fit! Israel earned a whopping 6,000,000 victimhood credits due to the Holocaust. Now Israel has enough genocide points to do what it wants forever - even after flattening Lebanon! Testimonial: "The CIA coup against democratically elected prime minister Mohammed Moassdegh gives Iran the right to build nuclear weapons. Thanks victimhood points!" - Mohmaud Ahmadinejad
