    If the citizens of the countries that can exert some pressure on other genocidal countries do nothing who will?

    Your logic is no different to saying people involved in WW2 should have mind their own businesses unless directly attacked by the Nazis.

    You also fail to recognise that, as history teaches, oppression somewhere in the world can quickly be exported to you country.

    And most importantly, unless you are a soulless person with no sense of empathy, we should care about suffering anywhere in the world.

      Before you get on your high horse that’s not what I said.

      I said that a lot of these people are protesting without having a common cause on what they are protesting for. And that it is creating deep fractures in our society.

      But don’t let a fact get in the way of your keyboard rage, grab your pitchfork, jump down the throat of anyone who you think is pro Israeli, and make sure to throw in a WW2 or Nazi reference.

      Or perhaps consider that your response is exactly what I was talking about, and it’s this kind of rant that is dividing us.

      I encourage a good discussion, sharing of ideas/opinions, perhaps you’ll change peoples minds but instead you resort to a “you’re wrong and I’m gonna call you names”

      And for the record, I still haven’t said I’m pro war cos I’m not. What I’ve said is I am disappointed in the people in this country with how they have responded to it.

        Wow, internet person… I never ever called you names or said you are pro-war.

        I’d rather have a not-so-clear-about-the-issue protester than whatever excuse for doing nothing you are proposing.

        Dont let perfect be the enemy of good.
