It sucks that more people died. It also sucks that I feel so.....indifferent about this one.
How many Israelis have to die before they stop killing Palestinians? What's two lives compared to the hundreds ended daily in Gaza? It's hard to be sad.
These people probably weren't evil. At worst, they were complicit after being fed a lifetime of propaganda. And nothing will change because of this so there's no silver lining. It's hard to be happy.
If I feel anything, it's dread at how the story will be spun. But even then...whatever happens isn't going to be the worse than what's already happening.
So it's hard to care at all. And that's the sad part for me.
The government of Israel is evil.
These people worked for the embassy.
We can't condemn people in broad terms. That is what started this. Killing someone because of their nationally, race, or job, is wrong. It's more senseless killing, adding to the hundreds of Palestinians killed.
Guard yourself against seeing individuals as the enemy, when their only sin is where they were born.
One of these things is not like the others.
