To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy, and from positive enmity, among strangers, as nations, or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)

Trump said: "I don't know. I mean, based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry……Some of those kids are — that's real starvation stuff. I see it, and you can't fake that. So we're going to be even more involved."
A quotation from Thomas Fuller
Assist the afflicted with something real, if thou canst: As for Tears they are but Water, what good can they do?
Thomas Fuller (1654-1734) English physician, preacher, aphorist, writer
Introductio ad Prudentiam, Vol. 2, # 2023 (1727)

“I don’t really call him,” #Trump told reporters during his flight back to DC after making an early exit from the #G7 summit in Canada late Monday. “I think the governor of #Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him. Why would I call him?”
It is a well established custom for presidents to call state leaders to express #sympathy & offer #support after deadly #shootings & other calamities.

Empathy feels connection. Sympathy drives disconnection.
'Theresa Wiseman, author of A Concept Analysis Of Empathy, came up with four qualities of empathy:
perspective taking, the ability to take the perspective of another person, or recognize their perspective is their truth, or staying out of judgement and recognizing emotions of other people and communicating that.'

While #israel dominates on the battlefield, #Hamas, #Hezbollah and #Iran campaign for the weak minds of #socialmedia #sympathy #terrorists who are all experts on #genocide from their safe western bubbles in #Canada, #UK, Europe and the # UnitedStates.
Welcome to the #terrorist #war of the #21stcentury where the #hostages are abandoned for bad slogans and extracting demands.

The former president said that he plans to deport “foreign Jihad sympathizers and Hamas supporters” and said he would bring back his administration’s travel ban, which barred entry to the U.S. from a list of Muslim-majority countries.
