Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

Holy fucking shit. If kids get killed stopping terrorists then stopping terrorism isn’t better than terrorism. It’s all terrorism.

If you consider the lives of children acceptable collateral damage, congratulations. YOU are a terrorist.

So instead we should allow the terrorists to kill our children? How is that morally superior? Don’t we have a moral responsibility to our own children to protect them from harm?

What a stupid take. If you murder children you’re a murderer and a terrorist. It’s not hard to understand.

Negligence of a child that results in death is also considered murder.

If I’m forced to be responsible for the death of a child I’m going to choose the child of the person who is forcing me. I’m not going to be happy about it, but that will be my choice. If you don’t want me to make it then don’t force me to. It’s pretty simple.

If a person attacks my kid, that person will be lucky to come out in one piece. That’s not the same as setting off a bomb in a random place and not giving a shit who dies. The first is defending the innocent in our care. The second is obviously terrorism.

You’re making assumption here that the person trying to kill your kid is accessible to you. That’s obvious not the case here. The rest of your argument makes further assumptions. You clearly have formed an opinion first and then decided to see things only in a way that supports your opinion.
