Check out this example: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjw4egp7lwno

"As we pass through Khan Shaykhun, we come across a street painted in the colours of the Iranian flag. It leads to a school building that was being used as an Iranian headquarters." "On the wall at the entrance of the toilets, slogans read: "Down with Israel" and "Down with the USA".

It was evident that these headquarters were also evacuated at short notice. We found documents classified as "highly sensitive"."

This is a BBC reporter reporting from Syria after the fall of Assad.

It is strategy for the IRGC and Hamas to operate from civilian infrastructure like schools to gain immunity. That's what's "not a human error".

I think nobody with a couple of neurons still buys the "every school and hospital in Gaza were Hamas, so we bombed them" nazi-zionist rhetoric.

Ask the people of Gaza themselves, what they think of Hamas.

But they didn't bomb every school in Gaza. You made that up. One school was even 'bombed' when a PIJ missile landed in its carpark but you made up the IDF doing that, which made you look silly when the hospital was still there in the morning. And MSF openly admit that Hamas was operating out of their hospitals.

> nazi-zionist rhetoric.

Holocaust invertion is when someone equates the idea that Jews should be able to live in their own homeland safely with nazism.

The Israeli state leaders is proudly declaring superiority of their people, the need for vital space (Lebensraum, the great Israel), segregating their own citizens, conducting pogroms, you have all the doctrine there. Go find out where this book played before and how it all ended up.

Help me understand how this justifies the collateral damage.

YZF 3 hours ago | parent [-]

I am countering the parent's statement that seems to indicate the US and Israel are intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure systematically for no reason. A lot of this infrastructure is targeted for good reason because it is used for military purposes.

This is totally unrelated to the topic where it seems the one school in question was incorrectly targeted based on what we know today (though not intentionally).

The general framework for justifying collateral damage is that enough care has to be taken to minimize it vs. the value of the military objective being achieved. Attacking an IRGC headquarters intentionally based in a school (e.g. if the example in Syria was to be attacked by Israel for example) still needs to pass this test. I.e. Israel would have to take measures to minimize collateral damage which would be proportional to the military value it gains by hitting the IRGC. But the (Syrian) school would have been considered a legitimate military target and the outrage should be towards the IRGC setting up camp there.
