    They probably mean well, but what do they think they’re going to achieve?

    Hamas go ‘ah sh1t Werder Bremen fans want us to release hostages, too. Well, we better do that then will we?’

    So in my opinion when groups with no influence over a certain thing do this they do so to make themselves feel better or present themselves in a certain way. Not sure what the value of that is…

      I find it shocking that both shouldn’t be the goal for you. Do you think it was the 18 Thai farm workers were secretly the problem for wanting a decent job?

      Those hostages should be released. Palestine deserves to be a country. Israel will continue to exist.

      Peace will come when both Israelis and Palestinians pull their heads out of their asses and accept those 3 things.

        You’re talking to someone who probably celebrated when Jewish babies were decapitated in the name of “resistance”

        There’s no talking to people like them. Israel is a despicable state I agree with that. Countries should not enable Israel to consistently continue with their apartheid regime. The issue is not even that. Most of the people yelling FreePalestine in the middle east are not talking about human rights. These guys want a one state solution with Muslim rule over all of Israel and Palestine, they don’t want Israel to exist.

    Selective Empathy Cannot be Our Answer

    With ease I condemn historic injustice—

    a predetermined answer is dutifully recited

    With ease I mourn suffering bodies—

    though my grief is granted conditionally

    its depth determined by the colour of skin

    With ease I say and feel the ‘right’ things—

    but once the dust settles

    (figuratively, literally)

    the world continues on,

    unchanged
