I'm certain that you at least know the difference between strategy and tactics.If you're already being attacked by a sworn enemy, radicalizing more of them is not a concern.
Innocence is binary -- either one is innocent, or they are not.The original claim, and it's still being used, is that not all the innocent people being killed are that innocent.
Rationally, doesn't matter. Would you give the IDF a pass if they bombed old age pensioners in assisted living complexes. Of course not.So the fact that children are ... a significant proportion of the death toll.
You still are not following the argument.They cannot possibly be considered guilty in any way.
"Immediately"? The thread has over 2,000 posts.Except you immediately post a picture of a ten year old girl with a gun ...
Did you know that Hamas defines a child as anyone under the age of 19? Yes, some "children" are not innocent.... some of these children are not that innocent.
<How do you know that?>
Common sense.
Ariel bombing may (or may not) accomplish the military objective. However, inflicting extensive collateral harm will push more non-combatants to pick up arms and resist. They most certainly will not blame Hamas as some have suggested here.
I also know the difference between military action and politics. Sometimes they touch, sometimes they don't.I'm certain that you at least know the difference between strategy and tactics.
LOL. I don't think you know how to spell empathize.I don't think that you actually know what empathise means.
You posted a picture of a ten year old girl with a gun. And being innocent or guilty is binary? Well, that ten year old is either innocent, in which case you were posting her picture to show that children cannot be held accountable whatever the apparent circumstances. Or she is guilty and a valid target for a bullet.Did you know that Hamas defines a child as anyone under the age of 19? Yes, some "children" are not innocent.
Apparently, you are late to the thread. “Innocent” in wartime: all those not engaged in creating harm.No, there are degrees of culpability; it is not absolute.
Mind reading again? I posted why already. If you continue to obsess then I will leave you to your emotions. I can't argue with how you feel.You posted a picture of a ten year old girl with a gun. And being innocent or guilty is binary?

We know you weren't considering the first option in any way. I'd rather not consider the thought processes involved in the second.
I have been in and out of the thread, it's hard to chat casually about the tragedy.Apparently, you are late to the thread. “Innocent” in wartime: all those not engaged in creating harm.
And I know (not think) that you don't realise that the vagaries of the English language are not determined by Americans. And I also now know that you looked the word up to check (and gee, you got an American dictionary!). So at least now you know what it means and why it was used. Whether it still made sense to you is unknown.LOL. I don't think you know how to spell empathize.
You missed your calling; you should have been a stand-up comic......And I know (not think) that you don't realise that the vagaries of the English language are not determined by Americans.

And 'Lol'? Good grief...
I think you will find that some people have a black and white view of the world. Things are either right or wrong, good or bad. Guilty or innocent. Invalid target or valid. For or against.I have been in and out of the thread, it's hard to chat casually about the tragedy.
However, it, innocence, still is not binary, but on a sliding scale.
Me pointing out that you didn't know something is funny? Whatever floats your boat, I guess.You missed your calling; you should have been a stand-up comic......
Strategy and politics seem be being ignored by Israel.I also know the difference between military action and politics. Sometimes they touch, sometimes they don't.
For a moment, I read that as "For or aghast". My eyes are getting bleary (my mind has been bleary). Time for me to go.I think you will find that some people have a black and white view of the world. Things are either right or wrong, good or bad. Guilty or innocent. Invalid target or valid. For or against.
Depends on how existential they believe their current situation to be.Strategy and politics seem be being ignored by Israel.
