Supporters of Families of victims invoke a cultural principle that guilt must attach to proven acts, not to kinship or location, arguing that mourning families should not bear collective blame for a church attack they deny any tie to.
Supporters of Families of victims argue that labeling the dead as terrorists erases local kinship ties, since in their view entire families—not combatants—were struck, and they cite the disputed church-attack link as proof the label was applied without community scrutiny.
Supporters of the Families of victims counter that airstrikes cannot safeguard a cultural fabric when civilian deaths—documented in past campaigns—deepen communal grief and distrust, arguing that heritage is upheld by protecting the living.
Supporters of Families of victims argue that Jordan's airstrikes lacked due process, since those killed were never charged or given a chance to answer the government's claim of ties to the church attack.
Supporters of Families of victims argue that Jordan's strikes lack legal due process, maintaining that claims of terrorist ties must be proven before a court, not asserted to justify cross-border force.
Supporters of Families of victims counter that self-defense under international law requires an imminent armed attack, and they argue that a prior church attack does not establish that the later-struck sites were lawful military objectives.
Supporters of Families of victims argue that Jordan's post-strike claim of a church-attack link is a retrospective justification: the timing suggests the government needed a legitimizing narrative after the fact, not before it.
Supporters of Families of victims argue Jordan invoked the church attack to retroactively justify strikes, and that disputing the link is their only leverage against a state that controls the narrative.
Supporters of Families of victims counter that preemptive claims of intelligence are unfalsifiable tools regimes use to justify force, and that the families' own denials expose how little verifiable evidence backs the government's case.
Supporters of Families of victims argue that Jordan has produced no public evidence tying their relatives to the church attack, and they maintain that unverified strikes make the government morally culpable for deaths it cannot justify.
Supporters of the victims' families argue that killing people without proof of guilt is morally indefensible, and they point to the families' denial of any link to the church attack as evidence that Jordan's justification remains unverified.
Supporters of Families of victims counter that a state's duty to protect cannot morally excuse killing people without charge or trial, arguing that unverified hideout strikes risk punishing the innocent alongside the guilty.

Supporters of Families of victims argue that Jordan's strikes violated the sanctity of innocent life, maintaining that religious duty to protect the innocent outweighs unproven claims of terrorist ties.
Supporters of Families of victims counter that scripture condemns the killing of innocents, and they argue that faith-rooted duty cannot justify civilian deaths, since Islamic teaching holds that preserving life outweighs claims of defending a church.
