    The Geneva convention is something I appreciate, war crimes is not something I appreciate.

    There is nothing in the Geneva convention that says a combatant has to have ammo or a gun to be a combatant.

    This is a fallacy: Iran is at war, but that does not mean all Iranians are active combatants.

    There is no fallacy, because I am not arguing about them being combatants in my last comment. I am debunking a straight up lie that they are not at war. But sure, not everyone is a combatant. Military personel on a warship are.

    I’m not sure bombing the country is a good way to help those people.

    Who is saying it is? There is a world of middle ground between something being a good idea and a war crime. I am just saying the people being bombed are hardly innocent bystanders.
