Wise choice. Submitting to being cross-examined on your views was never going to end well for you. Since you are refusing to answer my question, I'll answer it for you. Here's how the discussion would have gone if you hadn't ducked the question.
Option A:
Yes, you are of the opinion that no level of lethal collateral damage is ever acceptable. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and whenever the evil take hostages who can't be rescued by force it is always the duty of good men to do nothing.
Option B:
No, you are not of the opinion that no level of lethal collateral damage is ever acceptable. Israel would be justified in blowing up a building containing 20% of the Hamas terrorists who perpetrated the 10/7 massacre, even if those terrorists were trying to protect themselves from attack by holding one innocent Gazan human shield in the building.
Follow-up question, from me to you: Would Israel be justified in tracking down the five-year-old son of the man who ordered the 10/7 attack, capturing him, tying the boy to a chair in a stadium, and blowing him up, as a deterrent to all Hamas leaders who might ever again order the murder of Israeli noncombatants?
Follow-up answer, from you to me: No. That would not be justified.
Follow-up to follow-up, from me to you. So it turns out you know damn well that intent matters. What a surprise. So give your "Dead is dead. Intent means nothing to the dead." sophistry a rest.
