I believe everybody should have empathy for people that have been murdered. I'm not American and I think the US has done a lot of horrible things, in Palestine and other places. But why would that hinder my empathy for American victims? Just because the US people show too little empathy with Palestinians why should I stop showing empathy? Has that way of thinking ever led to anything positive?
Following this line of logic no one should have empathy for anything except the victims of the worst disaster or atrocity in history. A lot of the people who are rightly supporting Palestine now showed no empathy or support for the many much larger atrocities happening daily elsewhere in the world, will you criticize them in the same way?
