Do "We the Bankrollers" not have a right, as well as a responsibility, to question the IDF and the Honorable Ariel Sharon, their Commander, who we are financing??.... We certainly value our own freedom and our responsibility to question our own gov....

Imagine the outrage if it was suspected that our own military was behaving in an abusive manner to a particular group of people. But we can not, or should not, question Mr Sharon and his IDF?...

If the acts of the Israeli gov have been abusive do "We the Bankrollers" not share equal responsibility for the abuse??...

"Zeev, have you ever served in the IDF?"

That question seems irrelevant. If he has not served in the IDF, one might argue that he should defer to the opinions of those who have, but if so, then he still has to decide which ones, the 500 refuseniks, or the 499,000 who remain in service.

Not a very relevant question, if you absolutely need to know, I help develop weapon systems both for the IDF and the US armed forces.
