It is one thing to vigorously oppose the settlements, but there are people, even on the left, even on DU, who cannot even bring themselves to feel the slightest bit sad that a child of thirteen was stabbed to death while sleeping in her room, simply because of where she lives or who her parents are.

If this is not dehumanization, then nothing is.
