The photo of the bleeding Syrian boy stunned everyone and moved a CNN anchor to tears. Is this what it takes to make a humanitarian crisis feel real?

    Agree point to point by what has been written by priynk above. The administrators do not give attention to the collateral damage being done in the name of fight vs terror.They have consistently propagandised a standardised Muslim who is backward because of his theology and not because of administrative structures and socioeconomic factors.Now that ISIS is itself promoting and spreading the same standardised version militantly,the West has taken notice but its too late. Same policies continue to be followed as in the Cold War era of blanket dictatorships and zero accountability to the governed in Middle East. They created the Jew-Palestine problem and then left that region in consistent turmoil endangering the Jews for perpetuity.Its only natural and understandable how Israel has adjusted to their condition of being hard-guarded 24X7.But despite all the bravado,Israel has always invested in stabiity in the region on the balance by always engaging in Peace talks with enemy states and reaching a working relationship.No one can overlook the human rights trangressions being done in the Gaza settlements and the fact that none of the Islamic countries are shouting about it as they used to do is testament to how each of these states has started adjusting to a new status-quo.But that status quo needs commercial relationships and not covert political interference by Russia and USA.The Kurds need to be taken into confidence for reaching an understanding with the states that are harbouring resentment towards them for fearing of losing their territories to Kurd-nation.India can be a very good political model for these middle eastern nations where autonomy has been given to ethnicities and linguistic demographics to carve out their states within the Constitutional framework.

    the west's fantasy with east and its lust for oil make middle east the most important place on earth, and almost all left-right battles are played there, we on the eastern side usually wants to debate whatever is happening in the west that's why we know more about white black differences in us or islamophobia in europe but ignore caste inequality in our backyard, even our foreign policy is inclined either towards russia or usa, we used to support palestine but forget atrocities being done in our neighbourhood or for to say in africa which has least media representation in our country, where boko haraam killed more civilians than isis last year. the world will soon forget afghanistan where isis is building its new front.PM Modi recently spoke about balochistan,gilgit,fata region but its not like atrocities or genocide as some say has started recently its been going on for more than kashmir crisis leading to much more life lost but we only spoke when we were pushed to the wall, the world still has remained silent and as many politicians and intellectual say we shouldn't speak in internal matters of other but solve our kashmir problem, my simple question is if indira gandhi also thought about kashmir,naxals,poverty etc bangladesh would not have been there and east pakistan would be one more balochistan, it is only when we took a stand that the world noticed, we should first took some stand within our region and than debate about isis,syrian war,palestine.
    Even kurds have been facing massive atrocities but no one speaks for them.
