No, the United States does not target civilians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's never acceptable to target civilians. It violates the Geneva Accords, it violates the international law of war and it violates all principles of morality.
If civilians are going to be killed, I would rather have them be their civilians than our civilians.
We are protecting civilians. We are unarmed. We are no threat to you. Please do not shoot.
If you shell a military base and happen to kill civilians, you have not committed a war crime; if you deliberately target cities and towns, you have.
Obviously this is the world descending into worse and worse standards of targeting civilians both in state violence in Iraq, Gaza and so on and the terrorist retaliation.
There is nothing in ANC policy which calls for attacks on civilians in supermarkets, schools, and cinemas unless these are regarded as military installations.
It is a rule of international law that weapons and methods of warfare which do not discriminate between combatants and civilians should never be used.
Indiscriminate attacks on civilians ought, under all circumstances, to be illegal in war as in peacetime.
You've got to forget about this civilian. Whenever you drop bombs, you're going to hit civilians.
Israel never targets civilians deliberately, period.
