"When I tell people I'm Palestinian, a lot of the time, they assume I am Muslim, and I'm not. I love my Muslim brothers and sisters, but I am not. I am a Palestinian Christian, my Grandpa's family is Catholic and my Grandma's family is Orthodox. And being a..."
"...Palestinian Christian, I always find it very bizarre to frame what's going on in Palestine as a religious war between Jews and Muslims. That's not what's going on, and there are a lot of motivations behind framing it as such, and that's a video for another time. But what I...
"...want to talk about from my perspective as a Palestinian Christian, in particular as we approach Christmas, is Christian Zionists and really struggle with them.
"Having done my homework and having read your book, I don't know how you look at Palestinian children in Gaza...
"...right now and don't see the face of Jesus. And I don't mean just to make that comparison because Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which was a city that still exists in the occupied West Bank, fifteen miles where my Grandpa was born. I make that comparison because of the...
"...circumstances of the story of the Nativity and how it reflects so much of what is going on right now.
"Jesus was born in unsanitary, overcrowded conditions in a stable, or maybe in a UN school, or maybe in Al-Shifa Hospital. He was born under a regime that viewed the fact...
"I'm not religious anymore. I don't believe, at the end of my life, I will stand on the day of judgement in front of Jesus and answer for my sins. But you believe that, and I'm curious how you will answer for calling for a genocide of Palestinian children that, 2000 years ago...
"...cross right now. When I say 'Jesus is Palestinian', it's not because he was born in a city that is now modern Palestine, it's because I don't know how you look at the children Gaza -- young Palestinians' faces who are having their world shattered -- and don't see the face...
"And I know you can empathize with the white Jesus that you think is named Jesus, but he's not; he's brown and his name is Isa (عِيسَى) and he lives in Palestine. Your Messiah would HATE Zionism, and there is so much Biblical evidence of that."
"...and circumstances of his birth as a threat to its power. And as a result, they attempted to murder him and babies like him. He and his young family had to flee south through Palestine into Egypt to live as refugees, possibly crossing Al-Rafah*, where we're seeing Palestinians

Even if the asker’s empathy is low, they have fact to fall back on. They have eyewitness accounts, footage from inside Gaza, infographics, historical parallels, etc.
The solution to the world screaming in their face is not to bring earplugs.
