SS:
Opinion piece by John Spencer (chair of urban warfare studies, Modern War Institute, West Point) pointing out that, while many so called ‘civilians’ have taken part in Hamas’ war effort, including the atrocities of Oct 7, imprisonment of hostages and storage of munitions, losing their protected status under IHL in the process, this “has not stopped the international community from using the Hamas [‘civilian’ casualty] figures as evidence to maliciously accuse Israel of genocide, call for embargoes, or seek arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.”
Should America have considered all Afghan civilians enemy combatants too? They aided the insurgency all the time.
So when war comes to the US mainland, US citizens won’t be civilians then? right?
