all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.
Uaing that same logic, you can't get mad when civilians are bombed then.
We got a live cracker here
Even willingly targeting civilians?
Yes. As any civvy would be in their territory at this point
Israelis are willingly targeting civilians. Where is your hand wringing about that?
I would also mention them if everyone here was not already doing that.
I don't think Hamas has sniper drones shooting children coming and going from hospitals in Israel
If a civilian comes at you with a weapon, trying to kill you, are they still a civilian?
If a civilian stands in front of relief trucks, sending food/medicine/clothes/tents while the military destroys food/medicine/homes, are they still a civilian?
If a civilian cheers every time one of their country's soldiers shoots a random person or when a bomb in dropped on a hospital, or when missiles are fired at the places went to get away from the fighting, are they still a civilian?
'Cause, from where I'm sitting, being okay with slaughtering people kinds makes it seem like they aren't 'innocent' in this.
I don't think this applies to the general understanding of innocent civilians indeed.
So now it switches from civilians to "innocent" civilians.
You mean IDF veterans and reservists?
It's sad that some children died, but collateral damage is inevitable in war and there's no proof that Hamas deliberately killed children (unlike Israel, which has murdered over 12,300 children - higher than the last 4 years of wars combined!)
