I think Levinas shows the danger of inclusion. Inclusion may be better than exclusion, but exclusion can also be a way to exclude. By including someone, without acknowledging their own agency and their otherness, I impose my own understanding of the situation, of the world.
Sympathy and empathy can be similarly dangerous. It lets one believe that you feel the other, that you feel their pains. While it is important to acknowledge the otherness first, let the Other speak or interact on their own terms, before talking about 'we'. Better sympathy would be to allow for a space, an openness, and a silence, to exist not for the other, but because of the other.
