The law of war governs conduct during armed conflict, regardless of whether or not a formal declaration of war exists or how disproportionate said conflict is

This is a dictionary definition. Non-combatant ISIS members are also civilians. Whether they deserve to die or not has no legal bearing. Im unsure why that is considered controversial.

I enjoy the social aspect of running. Parkruns, Strava, meeting friends and getting coffee after etc.

Nah. It’s very easy to argue that murder is ethically wrong or unjustified but it certainly is effective.

I mean he’s still a civilian and it it’s still murder but yeah hard to feel sad about it

You think they’ll stand up for Palestinians when they won’t for their own diplomats?
