Suicidal Empathy

Al Ritter


Empathy is a human trait that is celebrated. It is natural for us as a species to have some degree of empathy for fellow man. I’m sure we have all known someone with a mortal disease that we feel a compassion for because we know what the end game is.

We base our concerns from past experiences and research, and we try to put ourselves in the shoes of the one suffering from it. Many people, for example, might question their religious beliefs at a time like this because of the unfairness of the situation. “Why them and not me,” or “If there is a God why did he take this person?” is a common thought process.

Where things become skewed is when the research is tainted.

This is the crossroads where we find ourselves right now. The recent college protests that take a Pro-Palestinian stance can be very bewildering. Many students that are interviewed either don’t have a clear answer about why they are protesting or haven’t a clear understanding of the history of the conflict.

I blame that on the liberal indoctrination of the Universities. On one hand the Administrations of these Universities act as if they are some innocent bystander that don’t know why the students are protesting, when in fact the seeds of liberalism that they have sown are finally ready to harvest.

History classes on a High School level are practically non-existent now, much less at a college level. If history is taught it has either been rewritten or the presentation has been tainted by the liberal teacher or professor.

Obviously these rather confused children have no real idea of how Israel was formed, and the adversities they have overcome to continue their existence. They have no idea how the “Palestinians” came to be, or the countries they have been exiled from. They have no idea that the rest of the Arab world despises them.

But yet they certainly have a misplaced empathy for them, ingrained by the very Universities that are now struggling with how to deal with the protests.

The chickens have finally come home to roost, and they will have to deal with it!

Not all protests are violent though:

Wonder where all these students are getting their money to make these encampments?

These kids are disrespectful, but you can hardly blame them, we need to blame the universities and the parents that pushed them to go to indoctrination schools
