Putting aside these references to some agenda:

 

The issue at hand is the killing and injury of human beings, including a 14 year old boy.

 

Conjecture has no proper place in explaining the killing human beings, let alone the killing of  a 14 year old child.

 

That's the "issue at hand" as you frame it. You refuse to acknowledge the relevance of other questions raised - hence the references to "agenda". Because barring an agenda, it is hard to see how said points are not relevant. As for rejecting things as "conjecture" - would be more credible if this was a consistent position, rather than a partisan one.

The issue is why a 14 year old boy was in the middle of a war zone, why his parents allowed him to be there and why Hamas security personnel allowed kids to be involved and/present being very well aware of the dangers.

You have no idea if his parents knew he was there, your statement regarding his parents ‘allowing him to be there’ is conjecture.

 

In so much as Hamas are frequently aware of children being present at demonstrations the motives of Hamas are a legitimate question. (Ie why do they not exclude children).

 

Perhaps something for a transparent, open investigation and report to look into.

Trying to get back to his homeland from which his family was ethnically cleansed.

He was not born back then, and most likely his parents were not born yet but good try ?

Your first sentence:

 

“Interesting to note the very same parents were not overly concerned for the 14 year old when they allowed him to be in the front lines instead of back home studying.”

 

Where is your evidence the parents ‘allowed’ him to go to the ‘front lines’.

 

Where is your evidence they even knew he’d gone to the ‘front lines’.

 

Whithout first providing evidence of these two claims your claim that the ‘parents were not overly concerned’ has no foundation

 

Without providing the evidence the whole of your first sentence is conjecture.

 

Your second sentence:

 

“is it possible the very same concerned parents were there also and encouraged the youngster while being fully aware of the possible consequences?”

 

Well of course it’s possible but without evidence to back up your hypothesis, it remains pure conjecture.

Where is your evidence that they were shot by the idf?....pure speculation on your part...
