Dang dude, I guess everyone upset over the October 7th Hamas attacks are "pearl clutching" because Israelis died. "It's just war, bro"

I believe they are referring to the selective outrage that this conflict has generated. Far more innocent civilians have been killed in places like Syria, Tigray, Yemen and Ukraine, but none of them, not even Ukraine, has generated anywhere near the amount of outrage among parts of the left as has the situation in Gaza.

Not even Ukraine? Man I still see people flying Ukraine flags all over my very suburban neighborhood. In a way I certainly don't for Palestine, or Israel for that matter.

I don't see how that diminishes anything from the current situation in Palestine. Honestly it kind of feels like a cop out way to pretend not to care. "It's happening in these places, too, so calm down" seems like a strange way to show support for other oppressed people's.

Ukraine was all over my circles, real and online. Maybe you hung around a different crowd?

All I know is I have heat, fresh water, plenty of food, and today is my day off. The last people who were indiscriminately killed on these lands was 200 years ago and the biggest looming threat is NAZIs who I am not a target of other than my controversial political speech.

Can I be the most callous now? There are millions of us.
