What is the point of your hypothetical 14 year old? That he's screwed by the accident of his place of birth? Yes. Yes he is.As are the residents of the Rio favelas, the Mexico City shanty towns, sub-Sahara Africa, the teeming slums of Mumbai and New Dehli, and various and sundry areas within the US.
Are you overlooking the point that Hamas will happily use your young teen and others as human shields?
Life often sucks. Then we die.
