Oblivious to Palestinian Suffering

No, I'm not one of those who say, "It's nothing, it's collateral damage for just cause." How much I regret this plight of conscience, people walking around unmindful of the tragedy. Have they no trace of humanity? Are there no rules of war? Is genocide allowed? The spirit of contradiction marks the West, shattering tranquility of academic ivory towers, desperately requiring Nietzschean jailbreak; their sorrow is shallowest thing, they're afraid of their own shadow. Look no further than Nazi atrocities, are there no lessons from history? Follow not the logic of occupiers, colonizing morality. They color the silence of their tongues with crocodile tears.
