If "your side" targets civilians on principle and has its
written in its pamphlets it will continue to do so(or wants to "rid the earth of _insert-people-here_" your side is a bad one. As simple as that.
Look at any war in Europe in last 100 years. At least one if not both sides will openly say one or both of the above.
Distinguishing good vs evil is not that difficult. Most people learn the basics around 3 years old. But many regimes make it their priority to convince us words don't have concrete meanings and "everything is the same". No it isn't. Nazis using gas chambers on everyone that doesn't fit into their plan or Hamas slitting civilians and children's throats in Israel on purpose are not the same as combatants killing enemy soldiers.
I could even excuse Hamas shooting their dumb rockets at Israeli civilians, if they made an argument they don't have better guided ones, and to have any hope of hitting a military target they have to cover an area, but they don't make such claims. In fact we all know if they had better targeting capability they'd attempt to target softer civilian targets like schools, churches etc (exactly like what Russia does in Ukraine). Not military ones. We don't have to imagine. They tell us themselves in their constitution.
There is such a thing as a right and wrong and I explained how to distinguish one from another in the parent comment.
