Assuming muslims follow the Koran to the letter, doesn’t that make them all potential terrorists?

If they're all considered guilty, put the declaration of war on them in writing. Since that hasn't happened, it's criminal to target innocent civilians. Despite the Globalists' Communist agenda, individuals are assumed innocent until proven guilty.

Israel never targets innocent civilians. But collateral casualties happen in all wars.

I doubt if the Mossad was deliberately targeting innocent civilians. Nevertheless, it’s a tough call morally.

Let me present a hypothetical. A known serial killer has just been spotted by a police officer. The killer takes just one shot at the cop, and misses.

Does the cop fire back, knowing he too might miss and hit someone in a nearby crowd? Or does the cop simply take cover and radio for help, knowing that the serial killer might well escape in the meantime?

Like I said, it’s a tough call.

I agree with you: killing, injuring civilians is wrong - and Calley and his platoon were war criminals and they stained our honor, all of us who fought to protect the South Vietnamese.

In defense of the Israelis in this case, the bombs they used were apparently very small - that video that Nateman posted shows that it was a very small charge - like about an ounce or less of A-5 - and a couple of young men standing near the victim weren’t injured.

In war, it’s hard to get less indiscriminate than that - and it’s hard to argue that Hezbollah operatives shouldn’t be attacked.

“it’s criminal to target innocent civilians.”

Hiroshima. Nagasaki. Fat Man. Little Boy. Sometimes collateral damage is necessary for the sake of America and the world.
