    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.

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

        So now it switches from civilians to “innocent” civilians.
