And if you care about the lives of those teenagers, you leave them out of the fight. I've never sent my children into battle and I never will. There is no point. It looks to me like intentional sacrifice for martyr status. I'm totally fine with an adult doing this, but will never be alright with adults letting their kids go do this. Never will be. Meanwhile I have and will make these exact same statements in person. Not afraid to back any of my words up, and if someone feels the need to bully me in person for having a discussion, that's on them.

And my analogy is still sound, even if you don't want to accept it. Sending kids into known murderers' range of violence will always be the same to me, regardless of the other factors in play. There is no good excuse for it that I have seen so far.

Sure. It's easy for you to say.

I would be happy to repeat it in person if you want to meet sometime. I mean that sincerely, and not angrily. I'm on the West coast and don't mind a drive.

If you really care about teenager lives then prove it with your actions.

Go to Palestine and witness it, and decide for yourself based on the facts that you witness with your own eyes.
