Yes, imo being manipulated by others to do something against your own self interest is idiotic. Kind of like those idiots that are manipulated to blow themselves and others up on a false promise of 72 virgins.

Working in a foreign country to help the needy is not idiotic, it is courageous and they make a difference and the world a better place.

When will libs begin to understand that cuddling a pet rattlesnake is not a good idea? I really think that most libs think they will be immune to such violence, as they are "enlightened". I don't think such a sentiment worked out well on 9/11, given that the target is a den of liberalism.
So doctors without borders is a rattlesnake? Please provide some evidence.

So you think that volunteering to provide medical aid to people who need it is, in principle, the same thing as blowing yourself up?

Many other articles besides this one that I posted corroborate the Front Page article. I'm sure you can find many anti-Israel articles that condemn the "right-wing bloggers" who have brought this to light.

We were lied to.
She died of natural causes apparently. Natural to her associations.

No in the intent but yes if you manipulated to do something stupid....which I suspect did occur in this case.

So you think helping the ISIS needy to become a sex slave and sold to the highest bidder is not idiotic. Everyone has to make their own decisions and I guess you can admire her courage and possibly her intent (though there's debate about that).

So you think it is stupid to work for doctors without borders? Why? Can you be more specific about why working for this organization in particular is stupid? Do you also think that working for the red cross is stupid?

She advocated for ISM, who advocates and justifies Hamas's genocidal actions. She was used for a little bit, then killed by the allies of the terrorist organization she so supported.

She was just naive. Lots of places in the world where people can do good and not take needless risks with their lives.
