Oh, you think the concept of dangerous teenagers requiring secure facilities is unique to Israel? Let me guess, you're from a Western society where you literally can't imagine a teenager walking into a school and massacring their classmate? Right.
In Israel, our kids actually walk to school alone, visit their friends, and play in the parks around the block at night without their parents being paralyzed by the fear of them being kidnapped or caught in a drive-by something I definitely can't say about your safe, 'enlightened' society.
Every country on earth has juvenile halls for a reason; we just have to deal with teenagers weaponized by a culture of jihad instead of a culture of gang violence and school shooters
Did you read what i wrote? I was not attacking Israel, Israeli people, or Israeli children. I was also not attacking the notion of prisons, or detention facilities that have children in them. I said Western societies (noting this forum is predominantly western societies) far from war struggle to comprehend what it means for 15-year-olds to be firebombing houses (and winding up behind bars). Of course, in every country there is child crime, and detention, but breaking into a person's house and throwing a molotov cocktail is not common, in any country. The US has a lot of children under 18 detained.
