Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

International humanitarian law prohibits countries from targeting civilian facilities, and dictates that a military must do everything possible to limit harm to civilians even if they are striking military targets. Photos of the facility posted by Iranian officials show that the building appears completely destroyed, with the top floor charred and blown out while destruction spilled down to the ground floor.

I think if you do this your country loses the right to claim that civilians shouldn't be targets. It's the only way the population might stop the authoritarians, if they survive long enough. In the meantime, bring on the school and hospital bombings to US and Israel, we deserve it.

You can justify all manner of horrible things with “it’s the only way”; chemical warfare, blood and nerve agents, etc. Best to actually just follow LOAC. Problem is that they get carte blanche and a blank check.

To clarify: I realize those mean the same thing sort of, but not connotatively.
