Failure to do so incentivizes future adversaries to deliberately endanger civilians and then exploit civilian suffering to portray lawful operations as genocide, weaken public support, and divide our alliances.<\/p>\n<p>The precedent established today regarding Israel will shape the conditions under which American forces fight tomorrow.
