    Looks like you linked to the wrong thing

    That was purposed. To give context to amorality. Everything else you wrote seems to be a synthesis of conflation. Reactionary and specious. To wit: we should nuke the Gaza Strip to be sure every fundamentalist Muslim terrorist is incinerated, even though some civilians may die. That’s the only way to solve this situation. Am I right?

      That’s your response after my detailing the difference between us and Hamas when it comes to killing civilians?

      I don’t believe you’re this stupid or that your reading comprehension is that bad.

      I think you just can’t actually justify your position of “never under any circumstances attack protected buildings” because you’re smart enough to know the practical outcome.

      That said, it’s not really worth continuing with someone who won’t admit this or detail exactly what morally superior armies ought to do in those situations. Unless it’s to roll over and die because that’s the logical conclusion if you can’t explain further.

        morally superior armies

        There is no such thing. You can’t see the forest for the trees. I want a world where military action is the last resort and limited.

          There is no such thing.

          You’re necessarily arguing that the purposeful targeting and killing of civilians is no worse morally than the accidental killing of civilians.

          Do I have that right?

              Then it sounds like you’re arguing no person or country ought to defend themselves for fear of collateral damage.

              Does that sound right?

                  Which runs the risk of collateral damage.

                  Anyway, I think I got what I needed when you claimed purposeful targeting and killing civilians was no morally different than accidental civilian deaths.

                  I think you might be unreachable.

                    claimed purposeful targeting and killing civilians was no morally different than accidental civilian deaths.

                    I never said that. And I am reachable, you just have to understand material philosophy to get there.
