I don't understand why leftists are so ravenous about Palestine, but NOT batting any eye about the [actual] genocide of Christians in Nigeria. I think their empathy comes from a good place, at least in their minds, but it's so selective. I'm not saying, I'm better, I'm pretty apathetic. But I don't get it.
