"Uniformed members of a military on a warship are noncombatants actually"
What's your angle here? Sinking a ship coming back from a training exercise full of non-combatants thousands of miles from a combat zone then not rescuing any of the survivors eliscits a HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA response from you when comparing the actions to nazis?

In other words, noncombatants have been dying not because of any need to accomplish any military objective, but dying to preserve (criminal defendant) Bibi’s hold on power.

So the US creates conditions that endanger American noncombatants in the area but doesn't bother to plan for evacuating those noncombatants.
Again, Americans are not “choosing” not to depart at the time. The airspace is closed.

anyway it’s shocking that no one was able to predict that when the George W. Bush administration gave itself unreviewable powers to murder and imprison people, those powers were eventually going to get used intentionally on noncombatants

It’s a tacit admission of a war crime. They targeted a building knowing that noncombatants would be present.

“Battlefield immunity”? Not sure that’s really a thing. There’s no battlefield immunity for murdering noncombatants. That would be new.

the point where you can no longer trust a government with the basic function of allowing your aid to reach noncombatants is the point where you can no longer justify sending that government anything else
$4bln a year to Israel and it doesn't even buy us the ability to tell them they can't starve kids to death. Pathetic. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...
Biden announces U.S. will airdrop food aid into Gaza as famine concerns grow

Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America

The most important principle in the law of armed conflict is that of distinction: a combatant must make distinguish between combatants and noncombatants, and make efforts to minimize damage and suffering inflicted on noncombatants.
Pawning that task off on a robot is per se a war crime.

We talk of refusing unlawful orders, but really that's a very high bar. It's only for orders that are manifestly unlawful, something *obviously* illegal on the face of it. And the core example of that is refusing an order to wantonly murder noncombatants, which is exactly what they are doing.
Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*
The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

I mean, sure, but contra Bryan Clark I do not think blowing up larger amounts of sand and $5 commercial radar sets next to noncombatants is going to be any more effective than blowing up a smaller amount of sand amd $5 commercial radar sets that aren't next to noncombatants
Military analysts said that recent U.S. military attacks on Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen came with more firepower and less hesitancy to strike in populated areas than under the Biden administration.

"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" wasn't "havoc" in just the modern sense of chaos, it was a particular order that was understood as heinous even in Shakespeare's day, authorization after battle was over to slaughter and pillage, both debilitated enemies and noncombatants, without restraint.
