11. So many questions . . .

. . . like, at what age does a child who is performing terrorist activities get to be called a terrorist? Like, if a 13-year-old agrees to strap on a bomb and board a bus to explode said bomb, killing dozens of civilians, what should they be called (other than Little Pieces).

Is a 17-year-old fighting for Hamas still a child? 16? 15? 14? Where is the line?

How about an early teenager who was trained in jihadi "summer camps (Terrorist training), and then goes on a stabbing rampage in Jerusalem? Still not a terrorist?
