So you're a pacifist? You think in no case killing is justified?

if someone killed my father, does that give me the right to kill them?? i might want to, but it doesnt make it right.

That depends. It might not be. And still, to say that something is *wrong* is really black and white. Is me yelling at someone in the heat of  a moment wrong? Yes. Is it understandable? Yes. Same with killing, only on a different scale. Learn to see in greyshade.

Not by definition. If Israeli soldiers drive bulldozers in their homes while their families are inside, I would not only understand it, I wouldn't even call it wrong. Just sad that it has to come so far.

Now, Palisitinians killing innocent civilians lies somewhere near the border of "wrong but understandable" and "wrong and just plain evil". Probably the first one.

This stuff is really difficult. Blaming a bomber may be called bad and evil, and usually it is, but people can do strange things if their family is killed before their eyes with *no-one* standing up for them. Not even the UN.

it is hard to see in grey. i understand the killing of another person if that person had driven a bulldozer into my home, killing my family. it sucks,  the whole thing is wrong, but i understand. the fact that someone would do it in the first place is wrong. says a lot about the world we live in.

I fear pacifism. Pacifism, a BAD move.
