"Stop caring"? Have we ever cared? Who did?
Nee, dat is onterecht negatief en cynisch.

He-y Sallahddin, they are not meaningless to you ... on the contrary, your topic and text itself show they mean a lot to you! :duim: You care 'bout civilian deaths during wartime and you disapprove of breaches of international law, Geneva Convention, rules of war, human rights, morality & ethics of war. :boos:

Many other people with a sympathetic mindset like you :baard: - sympathetic not in the sense of being likeable (no offense) but in the sense of being_able_&_tending to imagine yourself in the position of other peope :stomp: - share that point of view! :bril:

For all of us :koppel: , international law, Geneva Convention, rules of war, human rights, morality & ethics of war are meaningful! :cola: It is us who have to realize them & tell our gov'ts to put them into practice!

Eigenlijk stel je je ondanks je protesten in ideëel en practisch opzicht pasief en afhankelijk op - heteronoom tegenover de staat, zoals Kant dat noemt. Dus niet autonoom, de instelling dat wij mensen de staat maken. "Dat kunnen wij toch niet", zeg je gelaten. Sommige mensen kunnen dat wel, ze maken de staat, zij zijn het die staten de dingen laten doen die je afkeurt. Die "sommige mensen", als zij dat kunnen kunnen anderen het ook, dus het kan wel anders.

Your heteronomous posture_&_mindset towards politics_&_the_state are inconsistent with your moral disapproval, Sallahddin! :student: :jammer:

yes, we saw how "meaningful" those so_called western human _values_rights ,international law....Geneva convention ...really were in Gaza, Irak, Afghanistan... !

who 're u kidding ??? : the above mentioned article wich u most probabely haven't read is a condemnation of the criminal western bias silence & taking sides with israel = unconditional support for evil & condemnation of the fact that international laws had failed to protect the lives of civilians during wartime , even at the hands of the strong & mighty & at the hands of those who can't seem to stop preaching 'bout human rights_values = hypocrit west :

UN, international law ,human _rights_values ....are just toys in the hands of the strong :

de globaal economisch_financieel & politiek systemen bevoorrechten de sterksten juist : "might is right " !

the War on Gaza ,Irak, Afghanistan.....& deliberate targeting of civilians, violations of international law, of human rights _values, of the Geneva convention ....are western & israeli specialities : not to mention Russia in Goergia, Checheneya...,China in relation to Tibet ...

voor de rest , ben ik nou te opgewonden om daarop te reageren :

"mensen zijn doodsbang om joden te kwetsen" topic had me woedend gemaakt ...
