    I edited my comment to be more clear and concise, but you replied too soon, I had a feeling you’d interpret that phrase in the least charitable way possible.

    Civilians from a hostile nation is more accurate, although widespread public support of intifada doesn’t mean you’re entirely wrong. Despite this, israel is still choosing military targets, unlike their opponent.

      How exactly should have I interpreted the phrase “enemy civilians?” What is the charitable interpretation of that phrase?

        Civilians from an enemy nation that’s at war with yours

          Gaza is not an enemy nation. It is not even a nation. This is supposed to be a war between Israel and Hamas. Not Israel and the Palestinian people. You are still saying all those children’s deaths were justified.

            a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.

            Sounds like a nation to me.
            Hamas is the government of Gaza.
            When one’s government goes to war, the people who live under it are subjected to the consequences. This is how war works.

                It’s terrible, it’s tragic, it’s unfortunate, but yes it’s justified provided these deaths are collateral damage when attacking valid military targets, as it seems they are.

                What is not justifiable is using them as human shields and hiding among them. This is what caused these deaths: Hamas murdering Israeli civilians while hiding behind the children of their own nation.

                Why Palestinians don’t have more outrage for Hamas than they do for the IDF is beyond me.

              There’s supposed to be international law that restrains nations when they go to war. Instead, Israel is butchering children by the thousands.

      Ah, I see, you’re likely one of those singing that song. :(
