On the point that Shadi made on the person who couldn't bring themselves to feel anything at the atrocity, i think the answer has to be they must feel empathy for the other side. It's easy for me to say this, but what is the alternative? A degeneration into mere violence for the Palestinian's is the road to absolute ruin. It will not win them a state nor the broader international support required for a genuine solution. It must also be said, the moment we stop feeling empathy for those with whom we dislike or even hate, is the moment we let ourselves off the moral leash. It is a profoundly dangerous position to find ourselves in.
