    After burning those kids alive, honestly, I’ve given up caring what happens to the people in Israel.

      You should care. The people are not the leadership.

        Apparently the people don’t care enough to stop their soldiers from burning kids alive. Why should I care what happens to them?

          That’s pretty reductive. How much power do you think the Israeli people have?

          I’m American. I know my country is funding this genocide. All I have is my vote, which has very little impact. I care a lot, but other than my vote I’m powerless to stop my government from arming Israel.

          The Israeli citizens are similarly powerless.
