that stop people from carrying bombs into israel or just attacking any israeli they cross among other things. Sometimes its has a price in costing us our lives for those of us who are active in that particular activity.

I do not do anything to stop the settlements at all, nor will i, until i believe the Palestinians can develop a stable western democracy, until them my moral duty is to do what i can to protect the israelis from their attacks. Their attacks on human beings and unstable/theocractic dictatorships are far more immoral in my eyes than any land ownership or buildings.

do you really expect me to buy what your selling?...you wont go and help the syrians who are fighting for a change in government, who are pleading for outside help because your afraid it could result in 'greater loss of life?

OMFG, those syrians are getting massacred slowly and you're afraid if you help, it will make it worse, so its better to leave assad alone....and let him kill "in peace." (l guess like the killing in dafur) that has got to be one of the most absurd excuses i've heard yet....and what "law" prevents you (outside of the law of fear) from going to syria and aiding them in creating a better government? i would say your viewpoint is "morally bankrupt", since you refuse to help those syrians fighting a dictatorship on principle.

and Kaddafi? no way, i believe NATO's interference was hypocritical, nor do i believe the tribes fighting each other will result in anything resembling of a democracy, so why would i even consider going there and risking my life for something i don't believe in? I've made my decision of what i believe in and where i risk my life and that is where i am presently.

and you? outside of writing on a forum, do you actually do anything that actually has a "cost/risk" to you? (its not that i expect people to, but if your going to attempt to show your "moral superiority"...lets hear what you have done, that has a 'personal cost" if anything
