That last paragraph is disingenuous at best because there is a miles-wide valley of options between setting off explosives in peoples' pockets and surrender.

- golergka 2y agoNo, this paragraph explains that "this attack killed innocent" is not a good argument if you want to prove that this was a war crime or an act of terror. If you want to prove something like this, your argument should be "this attack targeted innocents", "reasonable precautions to minimise damage to innocents were not taken", or "the military significance of target is insignificant compared to damage to innocents". I don't see any of these arguments.
- klez 2y ago> "reasonable precautions to minimise damage to innocents were not taken" I'd say this particular line has been crossed the moment you make something explode without knowing who exactly is holding it and where they are.
