    I am seriously asking, was this what the reaction was like in Nazi Germany too? We are literally watching a systematic genocide and torture of an entire group of people and most of the world is doing nothing.

    I thought I heard somewhere that there was a similar parallel back then where as long as it occurred in their country that most everyone else ignored it. It was only when they attempted to expand that there was a larger war?

      I heard that too, but I’m no historian. What certainly is different now is having the internet; everyone who cares is staying informed and seeing what Israel is doing to Palestinians in almost real time. Not that we can do much about it.

      I suggest writing some letters to choice politicians.… Maybe you can get past the thick, dead tissue surrounding what remains of their hearts.
