Yes, it is sad at how little actual attention this very important issue is. One of the things I always point out is: if you can’t look to actual suffering before your eyes, and admit there is a problem which needs to be dealt with, then why do you expect people to speak out about hidden suffering (such as abortion?) The fact that people can be indifferent to something they can see explains why we are indifferent to so much more.

I do know some people from time to time wake up to what is going on in Israel. Usually, it takes people to actually visit the Holy Land and to see first hand what hardships the people who live their face. It’s very difficult to believe, and yet here we are.

And yet this is the issue that most roils the Muslim world, believe me. (I have lived among Third World Muslims; I know whereof I speak.Jerusalem is vital for their religious sensibilities.)

This issue and the others related to it are what are likely to send the Israeli bombs flying at the Iranian nuclear facilities.
