As hundreds die when Israel fires American made weapons on innocent people, we like to be distracted by posings about celebrities. It's Hegel's dialectic in action.

This is hardly the whole story — or even intended as social commentary — but it's not bad to make the targets of aggression sound human (especially if they sound more like those with power).
