The philosophy of "Kill the terrorists and their families" is still fucked up even when leftists do it people.

    Let's consider our modern day police force. How should the separated children held captive by ICE feel about the officers who detained their family? Do you think they support the officers going home to their families while they suffer in desolation?

      This isn't really relevant since the officers are the actual perpetrators deserving of retribution. I'm talking about the idea of automatically punishing their families as well.

        This is very relevant but you haven't considered it yet. Our modern day police have already weaponized family separation. If it meant getting information, cooperation, or a confession, they will threaten your family. I would not tell any victim of these forms of terrorism how they should manage their reaction to this injustice.

          I would hope the average person, even in that terrible scenario, would realize that killing people who didn't hurt them is wrong and wouldn't really achieve anything.

            Have you ever spoken with a person who has been separated from their family by the state?

            Yeah I'd hope the world could all hold hands and song kumbaya too but we live in hellworld and people are going to do what they have to do to stop devastation.
