You are juxtaposing two different concepts. 1) military objectives (weapons factories) and 2) combatant status (fighters). Factory workers are not combatants. While I don't think Elbit Systems should be allowed to operate globally, kil

Spreading fear is generally considered terrorism - not a proper military objective. You have to realize that the argument you're making goes both ways here.

No, you emphatically are not. The criteria is membership in the armed forces: https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule4 Had it been otherwise, practically everyone working for the Israeli state

Yes. The term you used was "operative" and it is not synonymous with "member of armed force".

Do you have a cite? Otherwise I think every study conducted in the last few decades have found that attacks against Israel is over-reported whereas attacks against Palestinians are under-reported. See f.e: https://theconversation

The negative association is there because Zionism is no different from Islamism. In both cases Fascist ideologies have coopted religion to dominate people deemed inferior.

You don't want to expose details about your platform. Thousands (millions?) of sites have been compromised because errors caused them to dump public tracebacks.

Short answer, yes. And if a library doesn't have any docs you can just paste the header file into the chat box and ask ChatGPT to write example code for you.

For simple questions you can just ask ChatGPT. For complex questions the Stack Overflow moderators would have closed your question for lack of focus. Unless a question reads like a tech spec it is ambiguous and unanswerable to them.
