If you hide ammunition, fighters amongst civilians, to use the as meat shield or their deaths as propaganda, they become collateral damage.
Huh. Weird, that looks like your text copy and pasted right here, where you say that killing civilians under the claim of targeting “hidden fighters” among their ranks is excusable collateral damage of war.
Same argument used to defend the atomic bombing of hiroshima, another well known war crime. The city had a well established military headquarters and arms depot, tucked away in the center of civilian housing and business, after all. Just more collateral damage, right?
this whole flame war could’ve probably been avoided by you just clarifying more. It’s clear that you thought the other person didn’t understand you. Instead of just explaining what you meant you had to act like they were stupid for not getting it. I don’t want to take a stand on this kind of thing but these kinds of petty fights don’t help anybody and actively detriment lemmy as a platform. Be better.
