I will never support the killing of children anywhere no matter how it is framed.

Even the children of my enemies.
And I have been there.
I lost my sibling. I saw everything. I went through that night myself and survived, though I look at it as happening to the ones who passed away. And me?just a witness.
That's how my mind sees it.

And as the result of the complicity of an entire town staying indoors while we screamed for help.

Not just the actions of extremists, no.

A collective choice.

I also see it as the consequential price of an apathetic world feeding the war machines with taxes and votes .

I see it as everyone's sin.

Several times after it happened I could have unleashed my wrath on their loved ones.

Several times I have seen them.

I saw them from a position of rebellion, a step in the ladder, a calculated move.

I saw them from a position of power, side numbers.

I saw them from the position of a detached healer that has to prioritize.

And I could have framed the punishments as necessary from any of those edges of experiences.

You can frame anything, normalize anything, that's how evil is. You can word it as good.

But I didn't because ultimately there were and they are children.
