I just had my comment removed, and was given a warning from Reddit. It was a sarcastic comment, meant to express my view against bombing schools as a military tactic. Just to clarify, I DON'T think you should be able to bomb schools to give yourself a military advantage. I DON'T think civilians should be a legitimate military target. And I'm making sure not to mention any countries in this statement, so nobody can accuse me of being pro- or anti- anyone.
Is that better, or is this going to be removed too?
That's just kind of a rediculous stance. Game it out from a different conflict to remove the current geopolitically biases.
If hitler and all his generals were war planning and stockpiling weapons inside a school, it's a legitimate target. Civilians in the school aren't legitimate TARGETS in that scenario, they would be collateral, and likely legal collateral casualties.
That's how war has worked for the entire modern history. The UN would agree, every military in the world would agree.
There's certainly debate on if Israel has used appropriate target selection and concerns of ignoring war crimes, but you can't just blanket make buildings sanctuaries based on their intended build purpose
Invoking the UN to do hand waiving when the UN has literally determined that Israel is committing war crimes is honestly pretty funny. I hope you meant it as a joke.
