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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
No, the United States does not target civilians.
Indiscriminate attacks on civilians ought, under all circumstances, to be illegal in war as in peacetime.
If you want to conduct terror against Israelis, which is unacceptable, send fighters to do it. Don't send your women and children.
For decades, the violence in the Middle East has claimed a multitude of innocent civilian victims: Men, women and children, Arab and Israeli.
There are a lot of other terrorist targets we ought to be focusing on. Well, there is Syria, for example, which is pumping through - because of Iran, is pumping weapons on into Hezbollah and so forth - which is then producing a lot of agony in Palestine and in Israel. We ought to be doing a bit to try to stop that.
Unprovoked attacks on Israel's borders, murdering Israeli soldiers, taking Israeli hostages and showering rockets targeting and killing Israeli civilians are not furthering any legitimate goal.
Israel never targets civilians deliberately, period.
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.
