Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel had offered fuel to Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital, which suspended operations after running out of fuel, but that the militants had refused to receive it.

    The US has been striking targets of opportunity for years all while racking up hundreds of civilian casualties. Where has your outrage been for them?

      You’re making a lot of assumptions about someone else’s feelings on US military operations based on one post where they’re talking about something else.

      Pepsi changed it’s flavor and I’m outraged! Where’s your outrage about Coke? Well shit, that also pissed me off.

      See the assumption when I illustrate it? If not it’s likely your comment was in bad faith to begin with

        The question wasn’t really about you. You I’m glad there is outrage and an outpouring of support for the innocent Palestinians almost to the point of civil unrest. But if we’re going to champion innocent lives then let’s be consistent. School shootings don’t evoke the same level of fervor that this tragedy has. Hamas stands behind innocent people to bolster their political stance. And too many of us are doing it too. Once this conflict winds down there will be a return to quiet resignation over tragic events that happen elsewhere every day.

          That may be true.

          But you made an assumption about if someone else is outraged about US actions without knowing them at all.

          Or, that’s my assumption. Maybe you stalk this person all over social media to know their feelings so well that you could make an informed judgement.

          But, my assumption is that you don’t and that your comment wasn’t in good faith but rather an expression of your own frustrations about other acts of violence that are also happening.

          Because the person you responded to may very well be as frustrated as you about all of the rest too.

          Take care.

      People can be angry or upset about more than one thing at a time. And you’ve no idea whether the person you responded to has been outraged about the US’ strikes or not. Just because a society as a whole has a viewpoint that trends a certain way doesn’t mean you can assume each and every individual you talk to has that exact viewpoint.

      By all means, criticise society as a whole - it’s a very valid thing to be critical of. But making assumptions about individuals - and being rude to / critical of them based on those assumptions - isn’t the way to win anyone over.
