<Refraining from celebrating the violent deaths of others, no matter how much you think they deserved death, isn't about THEM, it is about you. Compassion is something you feel for humanity>

You are confused. You think they are Christians, you think compassion is a virtue the War Party cares about. It isn't. You can never reach them by an appeal to compassion.

They are not Christians, they worship Diana, goddess of War and Technology. Doing a victory dance on the graves of their enemies, singing and shouting at the death of the hated Other, this is a religious rite, for members of the War Party. Compassion is for wimps and weaklings and Christians.

I've had this discussion with them, earlier, about their gleeful praise of Israel's targetted assassinations.
