Is it ever acceptable to bomb a school or a hospital? (Poll)

[kyzr]

The answer is "NO". I don't care if the enemy had their headquarters there. The answer is still "NO".

In honorable warfare, the combatants don't use civilians as human shields. When they do that all bets are off.

We used that as an excuse to bomb a hospital in Afghanistan. There was no "enemy combatants" in the hospital.

It's an excuse to create an act of terrorism to bomb a school or hospital.

Interesting that it doesn't say 22 children. People who use others as human shields deserve to die.

Seems that would depend on if it were being used as a school or a HQ.

If the enemy is using it for conducting combat operations against you?

You bet your sweet ass they are viable targets.

 

[ozro]

If the enemy uses civilians as shields, and they get killed, it's on the enemy. They deserve blame, and they deserve to be bombed and hopefully die slowly.

So you are gonna stoop to the bad guys level.

Then who's left to be the good guys?

Don't move the goal posts. You obviously were trolling to justify your opposition to Israel's self defense following Oct. 7. The hospitals and schools that have been destroyed in Gaza have been shown to house armaments and shelters for Hamas. Hamas has cowardly used civilians as human shields and Israel has retaliated. They have given fair warning in every case that they would target these facilities and Hamas will not let these people leave. Try being honest when you post, I know its difficult for the left, but please try.

In war you fight to win. Allowing an enemy to wage war under your nose, in violation of the rules of war, is a no win strategy.

You will never be able to win, the casualties will continue forever.

Fuck that.

Kill as many as fast, and as hard as you can.

Make them terrified to ever do it again.

When the United States bombed Japan many schools and hospitals were destroyed.

Giving in to your animalistic inclinations doesn't win anything.

In the end you become what you were fighting against.

The israelis are well on their way to that as we speak.

It is the people who use the hospitals and schools as shields for military activity that are responsible for the deaths.

Duh.

The ones that don’t use schools and hospitals as military installations.

You really are stupid

There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.

I never said that. They have a right to self defense but all they are doing now is creating new generations that will hate them.

The hospitals and schools that have been destroyed in Gaza have been shown to house armaments and shelters for Hamas.

No they haven't. It's Israel's claim. It was our in Afghanistan also but it wasn't true.

Hamas has cowardly used civilians as human shields and Israel has retaliated. They have given fair warning in every case that they would target these facilities and Hamas will not let these people leave. Try being honest when you post, I know its difficult for the left, but please try.

People aren't going to sit around in buildings about to be bombed.
