Combatants in this war have a duty not to target innocent people regardless of what they believe ‘the other side’ has done

You can’t just accuse other people of bad faith arguing when you won’t even back your own point up.

I’ve made my point clear, what I’m engaging with is your reductio ad absurdum you’re using since your first reply.

Let’s do it anyway: no, bombing a crowd because there may be someone hostile inside is not ok. If there someone shooting rockets at you from that crowd, in a war, yes, you should try to kill that guy even if it hits civilians. Otherwise YOU WILL DIE… that’s warfare… it’s horrible.

Now there is a mountain of nuance that i didn’t address because it’s a post on lemmy, and picking one of those nuanced scenarios and trying to make it my whole argument is fallacious and dishonest.
