Couldn’t agree more, it takes a small effort to imagine being in their skin and how they might interpret the entities of the world outside the only home they have ever known. These entities are either bombing them, or not actively defending them from being bombed.

My brothers have often said they would immediately join up to fight if the US was ever attacked on home soil. Why then, can we not imagine what it would be like if our entire lives since birth were plagued by the questions “when will we be bombed next, and where?” “How can I survive and keep my family safe from the bombs that don’t stop falling on our home?” “Why are the outside entities on the world so intent on destroying our lives and our home and why is no one standing up to stop them?”

It would be hard to arrive at any other conclusion than “the world doesn’t not care if I live or die, the world believes you I not matter.” If all they have ever known is destruction and assault, how could they be expected not to fight back? How could they experience any other emotions apart from resentment, anger, and hate for the entities that keep the bombs coming?
