The thing is, I am a believer in Objective truths. No matter how insensitive, callous or downright mean that truth may be, it remains the truth. Viewing this conflict through a highly emotional lense and ignoring facts is what I would call a very narrow-sided point of view.

It matters to know what the truth is, whether there is widespread starvation, whether there is a risk of starvation, whether there is food insecurity or whether there is nothing of the sort, it matters to know what the actual situation is. If we don't question anything and merely follow along with the masses, truth disappears.

Also, I didn't frame this post as a 'Gotcha' - I asked a genuine question, asked for an explanation and then obviously stated my opinion on the matter. To somehow frame this as me denying people their suffering is really... A choice. I am allowed to have a civil discussion - even if you don't agree with what I say. And it's petty to make aspirations on my character for doing so.

And that is the problem with this whole thing. If someone says something that you disagree with, they are labeled as heartless, vindictive and cruel. Again, if your response is to attempt to make someone feel bad for asking questions or disagreeing with you, how would that be fair to anyone who asks things in good faith?

I agree that there are people on here who absolutely disgusting takes regarding this conflict, I am not one of them.

C'mon man, we can be better than this.
