It is not a matter of my personally "saving" anyone; it is a matter of principle. Yes, I do what I personally believe is morally right--I'm guilty of that. If the easiest way of explaining the concept of innocence is to use the example of criminal punishment, so what? What does it matter? My point stands just as well.
Do you not believe in defending the innocent? Do you only defend those for whom you find it convenient to defend? Do you defend no one? It is not a matter of imagining oneself as a knight, drawing one's sword at the face of external harm to another. It is a matter of having principles and standing by them. I will not watch an innocent human being be attacked for no reason. I will question such an offense and seek to stop it, because I would not stand for such an attack on myself.

My goodness, you continually attempt to build a strawman of me in order to debunk it. You are creating arguments of mine which I have not made.
I have not "condemned" those who confer guilt; only those who falsely accuse guilt and act on that accusation.
I do not claim to be in a position to confer innocence. You are correct; I am not a court of law. I am saying the courts of law should decide these things, not people on the streets who claim every single fucking Jew is evil and must be stopped. That is blatant folly.
Furthermore, I have made no claims against America, though this is the second time yo've suggested I am somehow anti-America. I am simply anti-injustice. America defends justice. If America stops defending justice, America is no longer America. That is my chief concern here.
That is what I seek to defend all people from. Injustice. That and enslavement, but that's a slightly different matter.
I'm also not interested in having you say "I like Jews", and at no point have I suggested I desired such a thing from you. You are free to think and believe and say what you please; I have no interest in changing that. I simply desire to employ my rights in the same way to speak openly with you about what I view to be a slippery slope--I fear you risk subjecting innocent Americans to injustice when you claim that Jews are the problem. Jews are not the problem; Jews that are a part of the problem are the problem. There is a subtle difference that I feel is important to note.
