Ok. So the kid, a Palestinian, who got shot supported the destruction of Israel. I still don't see why this upsets you if you support Israel yourself?Originally Posted by Crazed Rabbit

He was as child, and also was not personally trying to blow Israelis up.

Ja Mata, Tosa.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
"Not personally". So you are still implying that he at least supports the destruction of Israel even though he is too small to carry a bomb.Originally Posted by Crazed Rabbit
At what age does he stop being a child and become a shootable "I support the destruction of Israel because I'm a Palestinians" adult?

When did I say you could shoot everyone who supported the destruction of Israel?
And I would speculate that the environment Palestinians now grow up in, being fed hate daily, might lead this kid to not be infatuated with Israel.

You didn't. But am I right to assume you think terrorists should be shot? And when this kid grows up, and being Palestinian he would support the destruction of Israel, wouldn't that make him a terrorist?Originally Posted by Crazed Rabbit

What's all the fuss? Logically.....
The ruling government of the polity in question used force to enforce a government edict. How is this historically rare? In what way is it unexpected? Until changes were made in the legal code, a child from the London rookeries could get to see John Ketch for stealing a loaf of bread. Stealing was against the law and law-breakers were punished.
It is absolutely vital to any political entity seeking to act as the governing authority for the Palestinian people to ensure that the populace adheres to the government's mandates -- or else they undermine their own authority.
I personally prefer a society wherein I have an institutionalized voice in the making of those laws and regulations and thereby feel compelled to obey through the explicit force of that social contract as opposed to the overt use of force -- but force always underlies the actions of government.

It was a child that they shot. I dont know where you live, but where I live they wouldnt of used A FREKIN GUN to keep a child away from a certain area. Most men can pick up a small child and carry him/her with ease.Originally Posted by Seamus Fermanagh
