I believe that the best aid to victims of war is a cease fire.
How can anyone not see that?
We are asked to give aid to the suffering, but isn't it better not to inflict suffering in the first place?
I am trained as a scientist and mathematician to solve problems creatively, not to try only 1 angle.
The best solution isn't to provide headstones for the dead and bandages for the wounded. The best solution is not to injure and kill healthy people in the first place.
You are aiding people if you stop the bombs from falling on them.
Because some people get upset, we should not refrain from saying what we believe to be true, and only say things that don't upset them. That's intellectual blackmail.
Wouldn't we be aiding suffering by not allowing people to be subjugated to suffering in the first place? Shouldn't we stop practices that make people suffer?
When we see something that is clearly wrong, shouldn't we speak up?
This massive bombing of a tiny strip of densely populated land is unacceptable.
You can call me whatever you please, because I was called plenty worse in 5th and 6th grade, and it didn't kill me, but strengthened my immunity to name calling.
Epithets don't frighten me.
We should not be afraid to say what is true for fear of being HR'd or insulted, when so many people face much worse due to our silence.
I will not be shut up by name callers or those, who are so afraid of being called names, they join the name callers in censoring the ideas they don't want circulated.
Although they clearly are not able to think outside of the intimidating propaganda, I am.
Why should I acquiesce to name calling, something that doesn't hurt anything other than my pride, when others are losing their arms and legs and children?
