This quote is trying to express that victims either have few or limited options. Is the quote true???
I honestly do not know. I could be true but it could also be false, it just depends on the case. If you use the Jews in World War 2 case, then obviously the quote is true because the Jews barely had any options. They could either emigrate or fight against the Nazi's which was almost impossible to do. They also had to consider the consequences for both the options. If they emigrated then it would depend if the country would allow the Jews to enter their country. If they stayed and tried to fight the Nazi's then they would most likely be killed or be sent to a concentration camp and eventually be killed.
On the other hand, if you looked at a case where you were getting bullied. You could confront the bully, or talk to an adult about it or even ask your friends for advice. The consequences are that if they confronted the bully they might make the matter worse. If they talked to the counselor about it then the bully might get into a lot of trouble and hold a long grudge against you. If you talked to your friends then they might even be able to give you even better advise or make matters worse and tell you that you are a coward.
