Because most of the children are innocent and caught up in a islam mind fuck in a militarry industrial complex world.

So what? Why should I care more about them than all of the Canadian or American kids that needlessly suffer?

You're not supposed to care about dead Syrian kids in general you're supposed be emotionally manipulated by the dead kids they talk about on the fake news so that you support a war and "regime change" that will kill far more kids which they won't talk about on the fake news. Propaganda like this isn't intended for logical people who care or don't care, it's intended to control morons who selectively care about people they see dramatic images of.

That's the wrong question here buddy, it's not about why you should care about syrian children
The question is why should you fall for appeal to emotion by MSM
Answer: you don't, ever
You mustn't fall for appeal to emotions under any circumstance when it comes to MSM
You can't allow yourself to fall for that, they'll play that card, over and over again until you finally fall for it
They're abusing you, your family, and your entire country with that since decades, they did it countless times, that's how you got dragged in iraq in the first place, that's how they plan to drag you in syria, that's how they dragged you and plan to drag you in the worst imaginable quagmires you can ever imagine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_(testimony)
The Nayirah testimony was a false testimony given before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990 by a 15-year-old girl who provided only her first name, Nayirah. The testimony was widely publicized, and was cited numerous times by United States senators and President George H.W. Bush in their rationale to back Kuwait in the Gulf War. In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيره الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign which was run by American Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti government. Following this, al-Sabah's testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.[1][2]
In her emotional testimony, Nayirah stated that after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers take babies out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital, take the incubators, and leave the babies to die.
Her story was initially corroborated by Amnesty International[3] and testimony from evacuees. Following the liberation of Kuwait, reporters were given access to the country. An ABC report found that "patients, including premature babies, did die, when many of Kuwait's nurses and doctors... fled" but Iraqi troops "almost certainly had not stolen hospital incubators and left hundreds of Kuwaiti babies to die."[4][5] Amnesty International reacted by issuing a correction, with executive director John Healey subsequently accusing the Bush administration of "opportunistic manipulation of the international human rights movement".[6]
NEVER FALL FOR IT

They don't care about people, starting with you, your parents, every person you know
So a bunch of arabs dying somewhere ...

Because it's being used as justification to move them into your country. 1 dead Syrian child on the news results in 1 million "refugees" coming into your country.
You should care. You should care a lot.

You should care. But you should also care that it might have been Al Quida trying to coax us into a war. And you should also care that if we care about the lives of children our going in will result in the deaths of children on a scale well above 24.

I dunno. If you've never had even the slightest impact on my existence, I can honestly say I don't give a fuck if you live or die. No, I'm not going to just let someone shoot you in the head if I'm there to stop it, but I ain't gonna feel shitty about your death if I botch it.

Every child deserves a chance at a good life. Growing up in a warzone is not a healthy experience. I'd rather have the next generation of humans all over the planet living to their full potential, thinking through their decisions instead of acting on survival instincts, and not holding grudges. I'd rather have the next generation worrying about writing a good novel, inventing high speed transportation, solving cancer, instead of war.

that chance gets taken away by their families and culture. the only thing we can do that would work is replace them with our own after they are gone...
