Amendment is ADOPTED 9-5-0-4

[Pyro]

I propose the following amendment.
This places a basic limitation on military aid so it is not used against children.

Does proposed Section 3-1(c) include destruction of homes as collateral damage when bombing a rocket site?

The section appears to refer to any destruction of homes that is conducted by the Government of Israel.

Does proposed Section 3-1(c) include destruction of homes as collateral damage when bombing a rocket site?

Section 3-1c refers to forcible and intentional re-location of civilians through the use of property destruction. If the home is indirectly damaged as a result of legitimate military action, I do not believe that would qualify.
