    Reading through these threads since the Hamas attack, this point is lost on 99% of people here.

    Newsflash - combatants don’t just get to set up shop in a church or hospital to have their opponents throw up their hands in defeat.

    People bitch at Israel but don’t say a god damn thing about Hamas effectively painting a target on the building they occupy.

      Why do you guys keep comparing what a terrorist organization does compared to a government?

      If you are doing the same things as terrorists, then you are a terrorist organization and not a government.

        Hamas is both a terrorist group and the government of the Gaza strip. I’m surprised that fact escaped you

        IIRC Israel regularly attempts to warn people before striking to give non-combatants time to leave and makes a point of NOT using their citizens as human shields.

        That different enough for you?

          Different flavors, one can do whatever because everyone already despises them, the other is trying for plausible deniability.
