| AS: "Litle liar from Canada,google on Geneva Conventions which clearly state civilian objects lose their civilian status when used for military purposes.Period." Protected persons are protected persons, Absolute Sweden. Period. As in: A military target is a military target is a military target, and the presence of protected persons in an/or near that military target does not prohibit a belligerent from targetting it. But equally: A protected person is a protected person is a protected person, and the presence of a military target in and/or near those protected persons does not give a belligerent carte blanche to disregard the presence of those civilians. Geddit? They are the Ying and the Yang of "military necessity", and are called the: * Principle of Proportion. * Principle of Distinction. So *if* rockets are being fired from open areas then the IDF can carpet bomb. But *if* they are are being fired from amongst the civvies the IDF can`t carpet bomb. Geddit? |
