I know I am supposed to have empathy for the residents of Gaza. I know that.
However, I also know that these are the same people who in 2006 voted Hamas into power in Gaza. I get it--Fatah and the Palestinian Authority were massively corrupt. I get it. I also know what was in the Hamas Charter (as did a fair portion of the residents of Gaza who were voting) in its 1988 version (it was revised in 2017) that they campaigned upon, and more than a few Gazans knew as well. Most of these idiot leftists have zero clue about the contents. From my point of view, a good chunk of Gazans *knew* exactly what they were getting with a vote for Hamas. The levels of anti-semitism rival Mein Kampf.
From a certain perspective, the people of Gaza set this into motion in 2006. When you vote for vile and the vileness ultimately attacks and destroys *you*, it is very difficult to have empathy for you. The stove was hot, you knew it was hot, and touched it anyway. It's tough to care about what happens to you after that.
I know that makes me a bad person...but it is difficult to be charitable when you see a soldier lifting the corpse of a dead infant on your television screen.
