Geoff, the great thing about words is that they tend not to draw blood. Therefore, when someone labels me as heartless, especially when I make recommendations in complete contradiction to that characterization, it produces something called anger. Especially when the people in question fail to address the issue at hand, namely human death due to government action. I might be hot headed, but at least I put forward ideas. Highwater and Jason would rather mock these ideas simply because they don't like the messenger. That would usually be okay, but when it comes to something as sad as the Middle East, I'm not willing to put up with their petty garbage.

Ryan, my anger was not directed at you personally, as I believe you want the best for the people in Gaza as well. I was simply frustrated at what I believe is too heavy a focus on government protocol. Whereas voting one way or another may help on the margins, I believe the quickest way to actually improve people's lives would be to bring them here. By doing this, Canada would not be lending support one way or another to the claims on the Gaza territory, but simply bringing people to a place of greater freedom and safety.

In the end, saving people's lives is more important than making a point as to who is right and who is wrong.
