Why not? Who cares?

Like he said, this is far from the worst conflict going on right now and it receives a disproportionate amount of interest.

I don't care about the conflict in china or in Yemen or in syria. Because I'm a coherent person, I also don't care about what's happening in israel.

Because being proud of lack of empathy and just ... humanity is pretty fucked up?

You literally do not have enough time to care about all the travesties in the world, you will just 'care' about them taking up all of your time while doing nothing to actually improve the world. You are 1 human of billions, you try to make the world better as much as one average human can. Which is for most people, raising their children well, being a good person and doing good work. You only have energy for one cause I like to say, it's up to you to choose it.

So beyond a general sense of "these things suck and I emphasize, but I don't have time to think about it", there is really not much else you should do beyond that if your not actually going to do anything about it other than read some media, feel some emotions and have opinions about something you have remote to zero experience in and zero power or desire to actually do anything about it.

And after that one, you have the other 100'000 small and large travesties to process.

Everything you hear and see about the wider world is because somebody else with much more power than you decided you should.

By letting them decide what you care about, you've delegated your decision-making.

I think that's fucked up.

Also everything the other commenter said is right.
