I find it both amusing and frustrating how self-centered my friends on facebook are about the escalation in Israel. So many statuses and pictures on how the world isnt paying attention enough to Israel. "Oh noes there are rockets raining down on Israel and its not the top story of every news agency. Nevermind the fact that there are thousands dying in Syria, theres a civil war going on in Ukraine, bloody cartel wars in Central and South America, and other crises going on around the globe, but noooooo everyone has to fall into your narrow worldview, and gods forbid someone say they simply do not care enough about whats going on in tiny relatively insignificant country. Of course I told some people this in long-winded comments to their cries that nobody is paying attention, but in three cases my comment was deleted with no response by the OP, and in one case, I was even unfriended for my comment which is perfectly OK by me.
Ugh such stupidity and sheer ignorance of how the world works.
