Is this much different from going on jihad?

There's nothing to stop him from moving abroad and joining another country's military while he's there, but if he should ever fire on a British soldier or citizen, we should demand he be handed over to be tried for treason.

Such a demand would be rather pointless, would it not? If he has joined a
foreign military force and is firing on British forces, it would be unlikely that he
would be handed over by his new home country.


As for the comments on comparing joining the IDF to those who would join
a Jihad, if you referring to my initial post, I would stress that I said so with
a view specifically to those fighting the Israelis. Also focusing on the opinion
of the IDF. I have seen nothing which leads me to believe that the IDF does
not, or would not target civilians.
