It’s human nature to care about those close to you more than those far from you.

Absolutely. It doesnt make it factually correct, but personally. Kid in my area is in ICU after getting attacked with a hammer. Thats so much more worrying to me than school shooters in America. Obviously one is worse than the other, but one happened near me and one is an ocean away.

That would be fair if the USA government or MAGA peeps showed any care for USA children.

It’s estimated that 30-40 children died on Oct 7th. Consider the reaction most (white) Americans had to that event to the 165 schoolchildren killed in Minab recently. Neither Israel nor Iran are meaningfully “closer” to Americans than the other.
