Why do you care about the current wars?

If you have friends/family in Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Palestine, lived, work there etc ... This question isn't for you as of course you care.

This question is more for people who have nothing to do with these places, 0 degrees of connection yet always posting, protesting etc ...

What makes you care this much despite it having zero affect on you, your friends and family? This is a genuine question as I'm curious, not looking for a debate or fight. Just curious.

Thanks, please try and be kind in the comments, looking more for the philosophy of caring about outside things, not the whole Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine ideologies.

Because I have empathy,morality and a conscience.

"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me."

@Renaci that's pretty reasonable not gonna lie. Do you think the east eventually will come for the west if we do nothing about their invasions?
