"Dear America, you are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another another 1/3 while 1/3 watches".

It isn't just America though, the appeasement of the murderous Israeli state by many western governments is again an example of watching idly while people are being killed.

In the same vein:

10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and the remaining 80 percent can be moved in either direction.

@Naich Thankyou for your post. I studied Sontag and also the work of her lover, Annie Leibovitz when working on my degree where I was interested in loss and grief. For anyone interested there is a great little book by Sontag's son, David Rieff, called Swimming in a Sea of Death.
