When did I call myself a Saint? I not judging Anyone here ...We all been raised to believe whatever ...Some grow in wisdom and see the world for what it is, and some just follow what they are told to believe.. Some can't handle the truth, their minds wont let them see things for what they are.. Self preservation from suicide .. Why do so many vets kill themselves ? How does the human brain work ? IDF Palestinians hamas.. they all the same to me humans that are raised to believe what they are told to believe.
Don't make yourself a part of a conflict that you personally aren't vested in.
aka if you don't have a "dog in the fight" then let it go.
When people pretend like they care about everyone else above themselves they are a terrible liar. You can lie to the people around you and say "You care and you'll do such and such things" but in reality tomorrow you will wake up saying, "I am this "name" and I have to go "work" and pay "such and such bills". Every action you take is for your own betterment/posterity and there's nothing wrong with that.
Does your neighbor pay your bills? No. Does your own family pay your bills? No.
People will always do what's good for THEM while saying they'd like to do thing for others.
That's why I said physically do something instead of talk about it. I get that "discussion" leads to action but most of it just leads to nothingness.
My Grandma sends money to Ukraine and Gaza because she thinks it's helping. It's not. However if a Gazan family/Ukrainian family was teleported to her front door she would open the door and let them in(regardless of the potential malevolent intentions of those individuals). She's a Christian and to her that's the right thing to do as a "Christian". Is that rational though? No. That's why we have to tell her she's doing enough by donating money(even though it's going to corrupt organizations). When my Grandma sends $50-$100 to some random orginization because she was "brainwashed" as you said into "feeling bad" I know that 95-99% of that money isn't going to the people she "thinks" she's helping.
