Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

How is it possible to be outraged by Hamas killings of Israeli children, but ignore or rationalize the killing of Gazan children?

You Can’t Selectively Pay Attention To Certain Atrocities And Ignore All The Others

Rather the opposite: you can't pay attention to all atrocities, there are too many of them going on, all at the same time.

Rationalizing atrocities is a separate issue, but ignoring most of them... that's just attention spans and media filters as usual.
