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 the older you get the more of this stuff you see.
And it's always the same protagonists preaching the same message as justification for murdering the innocent.
Because their holy book says so.

A wise old lady (heavily Catholic) once told me

Religion is the cause of all war

And throughout my 58 years on the planet it's proven to be true.

The difference here is because attack the innocent wasn't enough !
These people herded humans up who weren't a threat to anybody, and one way or another kidnapped them !

What kind of a human thinks doing that is acceptable ?
And then you get the response !
Which is pretty shocking by anybody's measure !

Mankind is lost when good men do nothing.
And that's where humanity is right now

@Wiseacre THAT'S the question !
This is new territory. Worse than ever before.
In all these years parties are now willing to go to new extremes to achieve their short-term goals knowing there'll be repurcussions unlike anything seen before.
