The death toll in Gaza has topped 30,000. But life goes on for the rest of the world, because we all have our own problems. We might hear the number and give momentary pause, but then it becomes a matter of “What can be done? It’s 5000 miles away, and we’ve got our own fish to fry. Let the battle of attrition unfold as they deem necessary. Besides, it doesn’t seem to matter what the rest of the world thinks. Thirty thousand deaths is just the cost of doing business in that neck of the woods.”
War is part of the fabric there, disagreements that come to blows are the cost of religious zeal, of a tortured history, a natural progression from inflammatory rhetoric to killing anything that moves.
Have at it, then, and may someone be left standing. Or not. Does it really matter? Does anyone on either side really care?
