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 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.
