We should remember that it’s the hard right government of Israel that perpetuates this, not the average Israeli. They are heavily indoctrinated and propagandized. They are victims too.

Is that what we should do for the Nazis? Have sympathy for them and the Nazi propaganda at the time? Mass killing is not ok period. Sympathy be damned.

If we let hate consume us, we become like them.

Lack of sympathy equals hate? No. Just because I do not empathize with somebody does mean I want them to experience harm. I'm just not gonna lose any sleep if they do. Sue me.
