Well that's just sort of a dodge. But I do like that it's a nod toward maybe an ideal that we should strive for. That we should try to be good people. But in the real world you got to make decisions. And if your terrorist is commuting and commuting back to the house, do you call that self-defense if you take out the whole house? Well I say it's not worth talking about because I don't think this is unusual in war. To me it looks sort of ordinary terrible but kind of ordinary. Meaning that probably every war has this same degree of things you wish didn't happen. And in the special case where the children have been weaponized it makes the self-defense argument stronger, right?

So here's another one. Same argument. Let's say there's a home invader at your home and it's somebody bigger than you. I'll just use me. I'll use myself. There's a home invader and they're definitely bigger than me. But I get lucky. We get in a scuffle and the home invader trips over the rug and I jump on top of him and I manage to be able to hold them down. Now and let's say the home invader's knife came free and I'm now sitting on the back of the home invader and I've got my knife in my hand but they're subdued so I can't legally kill them, right? You all agree I can't kill them because they're subdued. And now the person who's subdued says all right you're in trouble now. If you don't kill me and you let me get up I'm going to kill you and you know you only got lucky the first time because it's somebody bigger than you and you know if you let them up and you don't have your phone with you so you can't call out. You can't call out to anybody. If you let them up they're going to kill you. Is it self-defense if you finish them off? I actually don't know the answer to that. If you finish them off because it's the only way you can stay alive, is that self-defense? And I think the law would say it's not self-defense. I think they would call it murder. Do you know what I would call it? Necessary. I would call it necessary. It might also be murder but that doesn't change it being necessary. So yes I would stab them to death and then I would call the police in that order every time.

So if you say to me there's a house full of people who are going to grow up to be terrorists if you kill their dad, do I have a legal ethical right to kill them too? No I don't. It's not moral and it's not ethical. It might be necessary. It might be necessary but it's not moral. It's not ethical. So war is about what is necessary. It is not about moral or ethical. We just wish it were. It isn't.

All right. And then CNN had some analysts who said that the Israeli military has told them to basically just shoot every man of fighting age. Do you think that's true? Do you think that the official rules of engagement are to shoot everybody of military age? I don't know. You know it could be one commander. Maybe could be more than that. Could be this person's lying. No it's on CNN so it could just be a lie. But is it necessary to shoot every man of fighting age? I don't know. I don't know. I know that if you didn't a lot more of you would die. That I know. There would be more Israeli soldiers would die if they didn't. So does that make it appropriate because it's self-defense? They're killing him just in case. Is that self-defense? I don't know. I actually don't know. But I'm not going to defend Israel. I'm just going to say in a war this is exactly what happens. There are no good guys in wars. There are no good guys in wars. There's just what's necessary and then there are people who are on your side and that's about it. So if Israel
