        If a civilian comes at you with a weapon, trying to kill you, are they still a civilian?

        If a civilian stands in front of relief trucks, sending food/medicine/clothes/tents while the military destroys food/medicine/homes, are they still a civilian?

        If a civilian cheers every time one of their country’s soldiers shoots a random person or when a bomb in dropped on a hospital, or when missiles are fired at the places went to get away from the fighting, are they still a civilian?

        'Cause, from where I’m sitting, being okay with slaughtering people kinds makes it seem like they aren’t ‘innocent’ in this.

          and every kapostani is armed, or can be assumed to be. there are no civilians among them, and even their children sing about murder and pillaging. like it of not, I guess every living thing there has to die 🤷‍♀️

          I don’t think this applies to the general understanding of innocent civilians indeed.
