and israel has many people both alive and dead to prove that it exists.

however the question remains to be answered. Clearly kayecy won't answer it, hence her "outsourcing it" to some legal body for the answer....what is otherwise known as wimping out.

since you've joined the conversation, will you answer it? In this case were balancing making someone uncomfortable for 39 days vs information that may save lives, either directly or indirectly (jewish israelis, christians and muslim israelis, Palestinians in Gaza if you would like to add that)

whats more moral?....making someone uncomfortable or saving lives on both sides of the line?
