      No, it doesn’t. There’ll be one guy left with one eye. How’s the last blind guy gonna take out the eye of the last guy left?

      Is the reason this is repeated so much… because it pretties up the fact that it’s 20 Palestinian children for every 1 Israeli that has been killed? And “eye for an eye” makes it sound like it’s 1:1?
