    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.

      Hmmm maaaybe it’s because of the immeasurable amount of human suffering amongst the civilians in that region? What the fuck kind of question is that??

          Uh huh. So why THIS specific conflict? I never saw this much rage and posting and commentary for other issues of suffering like the Uyhgurs or however it’s spelled. And this isn’t what about ism. We could bring up what’s gone on with South Sudan for a long time as well. Or we can bring up significant local issues for various commenters.

          It sure seems people at large cared about Ukraine because they’re mostly Caucasian and feel like a “western” country. People mostly care about this Israel Hamas issue it seems for religious reasons or to take a political stance (which is indirectly deeply rooted in religion).

          I have empathy and sympathy for many things that dont directly impact me. I don’t have to for literally everything. Not being sure if I care about THIS conflict, or being skeptical at the extreme coverage it gets, doesn’t mean I’m devoid of give a shit.

      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.
