Obstinance_Works: "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic" ~ Joseph Stalin(purportedly)
"If I look at the mass I will never act" ~ Mother Teresa
Compassion collapses when the numbers are great and the connection vague. Sayings such as "global village", "family of man", "every life is precious", "all people are equal" are only words. There's a limit to the number and a boundary to the scope of those we feel compassion for, and as we stretch the horizons of our empathy, we turn the volume down on the voice inside which tells us to feel as we become overwhelmed by the sheer scale of misery in the world.
Look at you, Ali. Your motive is to attack Israel and not to help the Palestinians. That is to say that your compassion is fraud. It is only your resentment of Israel that knows no boundary.

Is that in the same way Pakistan had state sponsored terrorist groups?
Do you not see the hypocrisy of what you've just said?

No you're not, you have an agenda which is clearly in favour of the Palestinians. 2girls is absolutely right, you're not about the children at all
unlaoised: No you're not, you have an agenda which is clearly in favour of the Palestinians. 2girls is absolutely right, you're not about the children at all
Agenda ....?????/OMGGGG..... yes i am going to get 2 Million dollars tomorrow for ghaza support ... Ughhh........God why you created her
ali110: A great Artist Mr Robin Williams Passed away it is a Big lose in Media world .
So many infant and innocnt kids are killed recently in Ghaza by Israel and all people on cs dont feel the pain ,isnt it strange ?
Hi Ali. After writing to you in the forums and also on e-mails, I have always believed your heart to be in the right place. I believe much gets lost in translation, for some, anyway, and I think perhaps your thoughts on current events are not always interpreted to the exact meaning you try for. (JMO). I don't believe you really mean that members in this global club don't care, (because that does not seem to fit your otherwise kind personality), I think you mean that many of us who are far removed from a tragedy will not, naturally, see it as keenly as those near it or directly involved, and that IS a valid point. We have a police action here in the United States recently that I care about deeply, but I am not the parents of the youngster killed, so I can't possibly "take it all in" in the same way they do, although I do "CARE". I love many people on CS, in fact, far more than not, but I think they need to give you a bit of a break. You get a hug from me, because I know you have heart--

ali110: Thats Good thing and i am glade to see you that you are doing something to help helpless
So many other things are also being posted on the site before and i sure will be forever ,what would you like to say aboutit ?
Posting photos of dead children. Don't you think that's just a bit off colour? The very least you could have done, was have a warning in the post before, then hide them so people had the option to see them or not. That would require humanity and empathy. Both of which, you seem to be short of, unless it's to further your hatred of Israel.
Donate to the children of Israel if you're not all mouth. Show that you don't blame the children for what the adults are doing. So far, you're implying they are as guilty as the ones firing the rockets.

As always a kind and considerate post from you Ro, off all the posters I admire on here you are at the very top of the list.
I wasn't meaning to be hypocritical, just giving him a little benefit of the doubt. (It doesn't mean I am 100% correct; I could fail, too. I am fragile).
