From what I've seen, Ben Cohen probably just cares a ton about social issues and isn't scared of getting in trouble for it. Like, the dude's been arrested before for stuff like supporting WikiLeaks and now for protesting about Gaza. I think for him, being loud and risking arrest is kind of his way of showing he really means it. Some people just can't stand the idea of keeping quiet when they think something's messed up, you know? I actually respect it, even if not everyone agrees. If I felt that strong, I'd probably do something wild too. It's risky and kinda hard-core, but he seems to think it's worth it. Plus, honestly, he's loaded, so maybe the risk doesn't freak him out as much as it would regular people. But props to him for not just talking and actually doing something, even if it gets him arrested!
