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.

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.

I think war should be illegal.

War should be made a crime, and those who instigate it should be punished as criminals.

I have never said that people 'should' engage in armed attacks on the United States, but that such attacks are a natural and unavoidable consequence of unlawful U.S. policy.

Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defense can be just.

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.

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.

I think attacks on civilians in fact boost morale.

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.
