If my neighbor's dog bites me in my yard, I don't destroy my neighbor's house. That wouldn't be "proportional". Dose that make any sense to you Nadine? Your "definition" is apologist BS.

en.wikipedia.org

"Within law, the principle of proportionality is used to describe the idea that the punishment of a certain crime should be in proportion to the severity of the crime itself."

"In the Just War tradition, proportionality is one of the conditions."
