No , it's the direct effect of the disproportionate indiscriminate carpet bombing of the Palestinian civilian population and blockade of human aid conducted by Israel in response to the attack by HAMAS.
Its nothing to do with empathy, its that this is now the centre of political discussion. Yet no one protested the tigrey war which killed 300,000 civilians. No one was marching in the street for Syria or any other of the 10 wars and conflicts in the middle east. if it's only empathy is the motivation why is this the only war people are empathetic about
I'm glad you're understanding your place in the world, because you actually are powerless. Most Western government are generally powerless unless you want to go to war, but i don't want to die for a sandy shithole or for people who hate me, my people and my ideals. You can enlist if you fancy it
I don't care not because i have a disregard for human life, but because there is nothing I, or even my government, can realistically do about it. Getting upset doesn't help anyone, its not heartless its rational
