I now understand that I became distracted from my theme. Whether discussing the horrible war in Gaza, politics across the United States, war in Ukraine and other tragic political and no political events, regardless of what point of view you subscribe to, there is ever more fading of empathy in this word today. It is deeply troubling.

Empathy comes easier to some than it does with others. As a person with autism, I feel empathy for others regularly and often, but, for those who are raised and conditioned to not see others on equal terms with the manner in which they see themselves, it is a major obstacle.

If the Israeli’s who were attacked would have been legally armed, some of what happened could have been avoided.

Government corruption is the real culprit in all of this. Our leaders are serving their masters who are not the voters and taxpayers. They are serving their corporate masters. It is obvious to anyone with even a slight modicum of critical thinking skills. We are fighting each other instead of them, and that is their goal. Money, power, and ego are driving these so called leaders, not empathy or altruism. Know your enemy.

We have to agree to disagree and that is good with me. I hope it’s ok with you. By the way, just so you understand me I hate what is happening in Gaza. When I see the Palestinian children suffering it breaks my heart and when I see how innocent men and women are suffering it breaks my heart. This must end, it must.

In reality it all started thousands of years ago and never stopped. Also do not forget that Hamas terrorists are hiding in hospitals, schools, apartment buildings and a group of them were just rounded up in Germany where they planned to attack German Jews. One more thing is that Iran is behind the entire thing. Sorry to disagree with you.
