It's not elitist.

Of course I'm gonna think my problems and losses are greater than yours. Why?

New That may be
but our leaders are encouraging that perspective, and trying very hard to get people to further magnify our losses whilst simultaneously minimising theirs.

I'm certainly not saying their leaders are not doing the exact same thing. However, I think that (for example) the Palestinian people and their leadership could learn a lot about how to effectively throw their occupiers out by learning a bit about Gandhi.
