The question, therefore, is when do we have the right to do it - to make sacrifices for our beliefs - and when not?
These days, when the world is becoming an even more crazy place, we need to ask ourselves as a movement and as people, what are the values and the situations for which we need to put everything in risk? Which 'Leonard Cohen' do you relate to more: his message in "The Story of Isaac", or his activism in defending Israel when it was in danger? Even though we live in a relativist, pluralist world, which are the truths, principles or people that you would make sacrifices for?
