you're not seriously saying that Hamas isn't targeting civilians and advocating genocide, right?
the Problem is that Hamas could very well be using civilian installations as cover. Hamas has shown that it doesn't care at all about Palestinians and is willing to sacrifice them if they can kill Israelis. This makes it impossible for the International Community to Condemn the Actions of Nettanyahus Government, because it may very well have been a Hamas-Base

Also: It's Nettanyahu, not Israel. If I'm going to separate the Actions of Hamas from the Palestinian People, i can expect you to do the same.
