If Eliot Rogers Was Tormented Soul

It has been said of me that I am “racist” because I defined Eliot Rogers as a “Caucasian Terrorist”. 

I have read numerous post on the net sympathizing with him and his family.  A great show of empathy as he is described as a “tormented soul”.  His problem was he was in a place like Santa Barbara and was lonely because he could not get a girlfriend.  Well, I will not diminish the anguish of his torment.

But how much more tormented are the millions of people who cannot get a clean glass of water because an evil entity siphons of 90% of their water, while also taking their homes and land and orchards?

If we can sympathize with a person who unleashes terrorism because he cannot get a girlfriend, and enjoy the company of a women, is it not rather hypocritical to not be able to sympathize with a people, who for more than 60 years could not enjoy the company of their own land, because it has been illegally occupied.

How dare you shamefully empathize with this murderous specimen of a human being, and then condemn Palestinian people who have been driven out of their human mind by the inhumanity inflicted upon them?
