You can live in relative comfort and security and still empathize with and want to show support for people in Gaza (or Myanmar or any other example of power imbalance and brutal conflict and oppression) 

Progressives appear more empathetic to the oppressed than conservatives.

It would seem that there are still a plurality of people insulated from consequences. I've been around enough "progressives" with means to know these people are out of touch with what its like to live in the places they claim to care about. NIMBYism is a great clarifying thing to watch with these people.
