In all these years working on the Middle East & being committed to human rights, I've never seen so much indifference to suffering.🧵 1) The failure of Western policy makers - who rightly condemn Hamas' crimes - to condemn Israel's crimes & care for Palestinian lives is shocking.
2. Equally shocking is the incapacity of many to care. Why are some progressives, who (solely) mourn Palestinians, silent about Syrian lives? Why do many in the West fail to recognise that civilians can't be held responsible for Hamas' acts? Why are some justifying Hamas' crimes?
