Are iranian children worth less than american children?

Why i’m supposed to care less about iranian children being killed in war? Is it because their government is evil? Isn’t our government bad too?

It’s human nature to care about those close to you more than those far from you.

It’s estimated that 30-40 children died on Oct 7th. Consider the reaction most (white) Americans had to that event to the 165 schoolchildren killed in Minab recently. Neither Israel nor Iran are meaningfully “closer” to Americans than the other.
