Look you can call it whatever name you want but if you aid the military then you’re a valid target.
There, THAT.
Dude, a Kibbutz does not aid or act in service of the military. Full stop.
There are a few isolated ones that produce things like kevlar for example (and as private companies, not as IDF bases). If on an isolated instance you want mark down the demolition of a kevlar factory as a military strike, fine. Nobody will argue with you. But to present the collective of Kibbutz in Israel as military installations is one of the most preposterous assertions I've ever seen, and can only arise from someone who knows nothing about them. If backing the beheading and burning of seniors, women and children in them makes sense to you, militarily, then we need to have even further talks.
The other side of this coin, of course, is what the Geneva convention says about striking civilian emplacements when they're being used to launch attacks from. It would be ridiculous for me to claim that every single instance of civilian death in Gaza was a case of this. In war, nothing is that clean. If I am at least able to be this intellectually honest with you, it's getting near the point where you need to start being able to do the reverse.
Some really bad guys savegely murdered, mutilated and burned totally innocent villagers, often up close and personal in front of their families. Just own it.
