But how long can they continue to blame us for this

A very long time.

In these kind of ‘shame cultures’ the blame always rests elsewhere.

In that kind of culture, shame always comes about as the result of unwanted comparisons. There is never any attempt to change/modify behaviors.

The problem remains until the source of the shame is removed- hence the obsession with the eradication of Israel, for example or the insistence that the west accept dysfunctional behavior as acceptable.

It is easier to blame outside influences than it is to modify behavior.
