Letter: We need to empathize with victims of violence on both sides

Robyn Sundlee (“Sundlee ’16: Let Yourself Look,” Sept. 20) invokes the example of “murdered children in Palestine” to promote a brand of apolitical, unconditional empathy for victims of violence. I commend her for this. I hope she also chooses to apply this same apolitical, unconditional empathy to Israeli victims of violence, regardless of whether their images make it to the newspaper.
