This is false analogy. When you arm terrorist organization, you know how it will use the armament. When you teach your son to box, you don’t, more over it is a good practice to also teach him that it can be used only in self defense, and not to kill people for whatever ideology. I seriously doubt that Iran was doing that.

If you teach your son to box to stop getting bullied you full well know that he will use it for violence. And yes Iran has some responsibility for arming Hamas. But this responsibility is a magnitude below the responsibility of directly being involved in planning or execution of the attacks. In the same wake alle the supporters of Israel that send them weapons or military aid share responsibility, but aren't directly responsible for Israeli warcrimes.

We agree that there is difference. But we disagree on degree of the difference. I do not see a way to settle this. This is subjective feeling.
