I don't understand the support for Hamas among some on the leftist. Of course, I understand that Israel has oppressed the Palestinians for many years and there is no justification for this, but there is no need to justify the actions of religious fanatics who also kill civilians, especially since Israel itself has aggravated the problem with the Islamists

      There are almost no civilians in Israel as I said because they serve in the IDF. The civilians would be kids and tourists.

      International law doesn't make the distinction between civilians and their state, they are the occupier's population and as such it is not a war crime on Palestine's part if they get killed during an operation. I'm sure there's more nuance to what you can and can't do to a civilian population but yeah, the responsibility is on Israel as they are considered the occupier in this case.
