> So you want you elected leaders to save Palestinians

I don't want that. I want them to stop paying Israelis with our money to kill Palestinians. If they want to do atrocities, they can do it on their own dime.

Sorry, but it sounds crazy to me, I don’t know what to make of that.

Do you care about those people or not?

Sorry, unless I’m missing something, what you said just sounds like a cop out.

That's because it is a cop out.

When talking about Israel, it's always couched in terms of universal human rights. When confronted with their lack of advocacy for the human rights of practically anyone else, their cognitive fallback is that they only care for what they feel the U.S. government is responsible for, and that it's not really about universal human rights, and never was. Then, when no one is paying attention anymore, they swing back to being avowed universal human rights activists who just happen to be condemning Israel.
