    If a “child” (teen) threw a rock at me with sufficient force to cause a traumatic brain injury then I would shoot them with a gun. I don’t see why you guys see that at a gotcha. If someone attacks you you can shoot them back, isn’t that common sense?

      So in your opinion, this is most likely justified. The boy in the picture is fifteen, so he qualifies as a valid target to you. A rock could bounce off the tank and hit an infantryman in the head. The boy was killed, by the way, his name was Faris Odeh. I guess you also think this is justified. How about this? And this?

      You’re referring to anyone above the age of twelve as a “child” in quotation and deserving to be murdered by you if they throw a rock in your direction. You’re perverse, despicable and beyond redemption if you ever make good on your threats. I truly hope no parent will suffer losing their child because of someone like you.

        In their opinion, killing Palestinians is always justified.

        I’m not threatening anyone. I don’t think it makes sense to use lethal force in your very specific example because that is a tank. If he were throwing it at a person, then hell yeah let loose the hounds of war, that’s deadly force

          Again; you’re convinced that you’re entitled to murder a minor because he/she is throwing rocks at you. Glad we cleared that up. Now, would these universal rules of yours apply regardless of skin colour, gender, faith or cultural background?

            I don’t know why it would matter if someone is a minor if they’re tring to murder you? It’s like saying you shouldn’t kick a dog that’s biting your face off. You protect yourself
