    Well, it’s a silly addition because it is a silly analogy.

    Obviously, an unarmed 12-year old cannot harm an MMA fighter at all. Whereas, Hamas clearly has the ability to hurt Israel. So, in your analogy, you have to give the 12-ywar old something that can severely hurt the MMA fighter. So, okay, maybe give the 12-year old a big can of pepper spray. The assault rifle and rocket launcher were more of an allusion to the weapons Hamas actually has.

      They can hurt Israelis, but they can’t meaningfully hurt the Israeli state.

        Which is why I conceded a downgrade in the 12 year old’s arsenal to a can of pepper spray.
