    First I will apology to associate some comments that was made by someone else to you.

    You said so what to me saying protestors should not attack civilians infrastructures and civilians under international laws. The same international laws that allow protestors to self defense if they are attacked by the regime and supporting the protestors right to revolt

      Ah, the “so what” in that sentence might have been misunderstood. What I meant by that is that attacking civilians or civilian areas is prohibited in international law, but those prohibitions are generally disregarded both by the leaders violating international laws and most of the other leaders around them - that’s the big “so what”. It’s unethical, it’s illegal, it’s evil, but leaders of nations will still do it, because they know that most of the other nations’ leaders will look the other way. That’s what I mean by international law going out the window.

        So what you mean is that international laws should be respected but unfortunately nobody respect them including violent protestors doing violence outside of the right of self defense?

          That’s exactly what I mean. In good faith, those laws were passed over many decades, but they’re ignored on a daily basis. As I said; We’re on the same side

            Glad we agree that unjustifiable violence should be condemned while supporting genuine revolt for the good of the whole population
