Loves humanity hates humans is the punchline to an old joke about a fill-in-the-blank liberal i.e. progressive.
It concerns how those with that particular set of politics shriek for justice for the fashionably oppressed group of the moment but when it comes time to help a needy individual they are either not around or exhibit an unexpected cruelty.
Dr. Marsha Levine shows that tale is less of a joke and more an anthropological observation.
Dr. Levin is a retired Cambridge academic who lives in England and is considered an expert on horses. Shachar Rabinovich is a 13-year-old Israeli who had a question about horses so she e-mailed her.
Dr. Levin, who is Jewish but of the self-loathing kind, told her she would only answer her questions about horses “when there is peace and justice for Palestinians in Palestine . . .You might be a child, but if you are old enough to write to me, you are old enough to learn about Israeli history and how it has impacted on the lives of Palestinian people,”
Well, that’s sure telling her Dr. Levin. But we do kind of wonder why you haven’t left your nice comfortable retired-academic environs and move to the West Bank or Gaza to assist this “oppressed” peaceful (LOL) people.
If it’s a language thing maybe you can just move to San Bernardino.

Loves Humanity Hates Humans
Thanks for the way you framed this.
Sadly, not even children are exempt from the
hatred on all sides.
Shachar Rabinovich, a 13-year-old Israeli , has just become an expert on horses’ asses.
