There’s a school shooting actively going on. It’s been for a few hours, people are still dying, and the cops are simply nowhere to be found, because the school shooters are close friends with some of the cops’ family and it’s a “thorny issue” how to get them to stop without hurting anyone’s feelings (and also because some but by no means all of the victims of the shooting were involved in an unprovoked aggravated assault against the shooters earlier, that touched the whole thing off).
After quite a while of that happening, someone robs a business right next to the school. The cops all of a sudden show up, guns blazing, arrest the perpetrator, and stand around the business making sure nothing else happens. While, in the distance, gunshots can still be heard from the still-ongoing school shooting.
Is stopping robbery a good thing? Sure. Absolutely. Will letting the robbers get away with it save any of the kids? Absolutely not. But you see how that’d be a little weird?
Lets fix your analogy. There is no connection between commercial shipping and the School shooting and total idiots want us to ignore terrorist attacks on a highway near by because the idiots are idiots.
I’m not sure there’s really anyone who thinks that the terrorist attacks on shipping (i.e. the highway, i.e. the robbery) should get ignored. Obviously stopping the robbery is a good thing, as I literally just said in the message you’re replying to.
Would you say that stopping the deaths of innocent people (i.e. the school shooting) is also a good thing? That’s my whole point. I wouldn’t think that would be all that controversial.
No Palestinian children are involved in shipping nor would be saved by stopping shipping.
Let me use analogy.
