According to the report below, Iranian military deliberately hide among civilians to discourage miliary strikes:

Hamas used the same tactic. This puts attackers in a bind: you can't attack military strongholds because it's wrong to kill innocents and the world will scream at you for striking them.

Question: How do you attack such an enemy? Any moral and sane person agrees attacking civilians is evil. But what is the answer when the enemy does this deliberately?

This is essentially the same question as "how do civilized peoples deal with savages?" The long-range answer is: by civilizing them, showing them that civilization is better than savagery. This usually involves careful and patient negotiation, to de-escalate a crisis first. It is not possible to rationally discuss matters with hot shooting wars going on, because people in fear do not think rationally.

Europe failed miserably in the case of the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, when Milosovic simply abused negotiations to gain time to continue his ruthless campaign of ethnic cleansing (= mass murder). Milosovic ultimately relented only when he got a bloody nose (=NATO military intervention). Chamberlain failed miserably to obtain "peace in our time" by appeasing Hitler. Hitler had to be stopped at horrendous cost later on. Sometimes, a bully must be met with aggression early on, to avert worse later.

In the current case of Iran, this is a crisis Trump himself manufactured by his own rashness and stupidity: tearing up a prior treaty which was functioning and verifiable, bombing of a girls' school, attacking civilian infrastructure, economic blackmail, threats to obliterate an entire civilization--acts which are forbidden by international law and treaty, and should have been reined in by Congress.

Answer : They are all enemies. There are no civilians.

I should not need to elaborate but seeing that so many here, including you for starting this thread, are delusional regarding the nature of Islam, I will explain.

In all of these Muslims extremist states, the people are indoctrinated to kill Jews, Americans, infidels and Christians, and such doctrines are hard-written into the Quran and wired into their brain. This process starts from early as 3 yrs. Instead of learning kids games, they are taught to shoot Jews with toy guns in schools. Their school books contain stories or war heroes who killed infidels. They are required to give their lives for the Islamic State, and to become martyrs. A 6 yr old with a gun will not hesitate to kill you. These are not children. These are soldiers, who were put there because they know how soft the western world is. These are the people [teens included] who will rape, torture and abuse your women and children. That you refer to them as civilians show how far you are from reality. The list of indoctrination methods used in these socieites is truly impressive. You need to Google it and have a read.

The Jews have been dealing with these murderers for decades and they have had to ignore this idea you have that these are civilians and that you have to be immoral and insane to attack them. That is the recipe for death. If Jews were all like you, Israel, your country would have been destroyed back in 1948. Right now in dealing with Hezbollah, whose mo is exactly this, Israel has promised that if a rocket originates from a Lebanese village, that village will be evacuated and destroyed. The Jews are nice. Me personally, I would have given them 3 hrs to run and bomb the entire village.

The fool that suggested that these people can be rehabilitated, is a supporter of these animals.

I assume you will applaud if Trump comes for Trinidad and Tobago and you will still have bitter tears, when it is suddenly your house, that lies in ruins.

Lets see how honest you are. You are an Iranian and you have witnessed or have done the following :
- recited in school "Death to America, Death to Jews"
- seen first hand the destruction of your society over the last 50 or so years by the IRGC
- you have seen your women raped, beaten and abused
- you have seen people beheaded, hung and shot for petty offences
- you know that the IRGC support terrorism all over the world
- you see for yourself the development of nuclear facilities.

If you dont applaud if the US and Israel come in to rid the country of IRGC, then you are a supporter of terrorism, and you need to be executed. Your house means nothing.

Don't attack their civilian population whom are NOT at war with anyone. Simple really. Iran hit their USA military targets without killing one USA civilian. I guess the USA military is not near as good as Iran's military, seeing that the USA bombed a girls grade-school killing 170 grade-school girls. Lovely. 😠

Christian pacifism is not supported in the Bible. Christ advised the disciples to carry a sword when travelling to preach. The modern day equivalent is a gun which is handy for self-defence. Christians can kill if it becomes necessary and if attacked. The Jews were advised to annihilate all whose intent was to wipe them out and in those days [like today], there are many such people. God comforted the Jews then with the promises that he is with them and such people will be destroyed. You sit there and cozy up to the terrorist. God will laugh at you for being stupid.

And, what did Jesus the Christ do when Peter whipped out his sword and cut off the ear of one of the High-Priest's guard while defending Jesus? πŸ™‚
You clearly need to do some Bible studying. πŸ™„

[Luke 22:46-53 NKJV] 46 "Then He said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation." 47 And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" 49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this." And He touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 "When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

You sit there and cozy up to the Trump terrorists. God will weep for you, for YOU being so stupid. πŸ™„

Do you think if I do more bible study that will stop you from cherry picking and talking rubbish. First of all you are a Jew-hater. God has condemned all Jew haters and they will all be destroyed.

Next, this event of the arrest of Jesus was better explained by the Matthew account. Jesus stopped the fighting because Jesus has thousands of angels at his dispospal, does not need disciples defending him. Also the prophesies must be fulfilled.

Here it is. Read it :

And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? (Mat 26:51-54 KJV)

No. First of all, you're a worthless to God liar; same with all Trumptards.

Second: You have NO idea at all of anything to do with Christ, and His Love for ALL of us; even you numb-skulled liar. Get a clue liar fool.

No. It is better explained by Luke's account. Here it is; again:

[Luke 22:46-53 NKJV] 46 "Then He said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation." 47 And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" 49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this."

You don't know Iran or Hamas is doing that at all. When the US bombed a girl school in Iran was that a military target? Why did the US kill all those young girls? Is there any evidence the Iranian military was hiding in the girl school?

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-may-have-struck-iranian-girls-school-after-using-outdated-targeting-data-2026-03-11/

Allegations are not evidence. You are just repeating propaganda to justify the killing of civilians. Trump is a child killer and a liar. So is Netanyahu. You cannot believe anything they say. And it was bombed twice in a double tap. So it was not an error in targeting. It was deliberate.

"A “double tap” refers to two strikes on the same target in quick succession, the first intended to hit the primary target and the second aimed at those who arrive to assist victims or respond to the initial blast."

All you have are allegations. That is not evidence. The bombing of the girl school in Iran was a double tap proving that was the target.
