Concern about our fellow man isn't enough. How about concern that the world government of the UN is not helping ALL people, just some. Condemning one while ignoring another? How about how my representative to the world political stage is representing me. I mean, feck it. Innocent death means nothing, right? How about I'm concerned about how a repressive regime who has threatened their neighbors and is on the verge of getting nuclear weapons is acting and how people are treating it. Yeh, that sounds better than humans. Who cares about them, right?
How is it inconsistent? Hamas is a terrorist group using it's own citizens as pawns/shields as they launch rockets into Israel. Israel is internationally lambasted when they try to stop the rockets. Israel has open and free elections and does not have the question of fraud that Iran has nor do they shoot unarmed protesters. Oh, and I don't want Iran to nuke Israel as they have been 'implying' for a while.
