So then, are you saying that it doesn't matter how many Palestinian children get killed because we don't know the youngest, documented age of a suicide bomber? No. I'm saying that your defense of the Palestinians use of young suicide bombers was pretty lame. You specific kids under 12 because you believe that they didn't use suicide bombers under 12 and you want to defend the Palestinians but if it was discovered that they used 11 year old suicide bombers, or 10 year olds or 9 or whatever, you would just change your defense to say "well they don't use suicide bombers under 9 years old..." In addition, does that mean you think its perfectly alright for the Israelis to kill as many children as they want since we don't the exact cutoff age for suicide bombers and therefore every child is a potential enemy? What it means, and what I said was not even vaguely related to what you are asking about. No, it doesn't but your assertion suggests that the children are mostly at fault and that the Israelis are rarely if ever at fault. It doesn't suggest at all that the children are at fault. Many of the bombers are not children, and when they do use children as suicide bombers I blame the adult Palestinian terrorists that send them. But if a child suicide bomber does kill himself, in the process of killing a lot of other people, I don't blame the Israelis for his murderous act. How is it that your perspective ends up putting almost the entire blame on the Palestinian children? It puts almost no blame on Palestinian children. For the suicide bombers and other dead Palestinian children who died in the process of attacking Israelis I primarily blame the adult Palestinian terrorists. For those caught in the crossfire I blame both sides but I blame the Palestinian terrorists more because they often deliberately attack from behind or in the midst of unarmed civilians to either put the Israelis at a tactical disadvantage or get public relations points by having Israeli bullets kill Palestinian civilians.
