The problem is comments like theirs in such large numbers do nothing to actually help.
It's kinda like if someone were cheering on a homeless serial killer. (Not that they are serial killers but follow the analogy for a second) Dude once had a decent life, good job, family, good house the works. Then things outside of his control caused all of those things to be lost and him wandering the streets and he decided fuck it and started killing people. Now add to it that all of it was pretty publicized so now anytime he kills people you have people decrying the murder but you have people cheering that he's getting back for a world that harmed him.
Neither really helps sadly. If you really want to help, I think the best solution may be to work towards a career in diplomacy with a focus on the Middle East and to spend significant amount of time brainstorming solutions for the situation.
Letβs add to this analogy that the entire media is pointing to this homeless guy as an excuse to kill other homeless people
Not wrong we could probably just ignore media these days and be a bit happier
