Sooo are you one of the people who will then in the same breath deny that this is also the goal of Hamas?
Clearly both sides want the other wholly and completely gone. That is, the extremist leaders. I'm sure the viewpoints across the general public varies wildly on both sides and is fed by their own internal propaganda.
My question is, why do any of us outside that region care? If you are not from that region, or do not have some kind of ties to that region, then why should anyone care so much what they do to each other? And I don't care about religion. "Oh its a religious area so Christians care or something." That doesn't justify meddling over there.
I care about all the people everywhere at all times.
Peoples humanity and worthiness to continue existing does not decrease in inverse proportion to their proximity to me.
It's exhausting to be concerned about suffering. It's literally happening everywhere all the time for so many things. There's an endless stream of bad news where people are suffering and those in charge aren't really doing anything at all.
