Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

To me, the problem with a lot of the posts showing the suffering of children is that it's couched in propaganda and heavily slanted reporting and that detracts from the suffering. Also, after seeing enough of those posts, people become desensitized to it.

I'm still waiting on evidence of this claim, Dave.

If people become 'desensitized' and even worse - apathetic to seeing children killed, that says a lot more about them than it does the one bringing it to attention.
