Bodies of Israeli residents and Palestinian attackers lay outside burned-out homes in the Israeli kibbutz Kfar Aza on Tuesday, days after Hamas launched a large-scale surprise assault on Israel.
Already ~260 Palestinian children have been killed. That number is only going to go up. No sympathy for them? What about sympathy for the Palestinians living under the rule of Israel and Hamas who haven’t had a real election in almost two decades, and whose oppressors can be best described as ‘bad’ (Israel) and ‘worse’ (Hamas)?
People miss this like it’s some ideological struggle. Like siding with Palestine or Israel inherently are causes with some abstract values attached to them. They’re not, not at their core. It’s just a blood feud. It’s just one big, abhorrent, ugly blood feud with no end in sight.
Are we doing a dead child competition? In a thread about slaughtered children, what-abouting other slaughtered children is pretty callous. Here is one of multiple stories that cover the monstrosities happening to Palestinian children. Now that the dead child reporting is fair and balanced can we get back to mourning the tragedy that this thread is about?

We should have listened to Hannah Arendt.
