    Is that where you draw the line on sympathy, or are you one of those people who is physically incapable of talking about anything but Israel/Palestine?

      Of course it’s not where I draw the line. Don’t be obtuse.

      When asked who deserves sympathy, I gave an answer— and a far more deserving one than this dope.

        Even the worst people in history were at some point just a child that we could have potentially saved. Even as an adult, or after doing evil, I think sympathy and compassion never stops being the right answer. It’s just in practice we have to prioritise: the needy, the many.
