very good

i needed this -- not only to better understand what is worth fighting for but IF it is worth fighting for at all. Sometimes I get caught up in the moment just on adrenaline alone.

QUESTION: i always believed that when choosing sides in a political debate it should be referenced to what Israel would do. isn't that the ONLY way of promoting peace and or heaven on earth?

Shouldn't we try and stomp out any political thoughts that have plagued Israel since the beginning. Should we not fight with every breath we have to avoid people claiming to think for us or as G-d?
