All Hamas has to do is issue uniforms for fighters. Israel would probably even voluntarily foot the cost. But Hamas won't do it because of how much leverage civilians getting killed gets them.

- nsguy 3y agoYou can see videos with the pattern of "civilians" grabbing an RPG, firing it, and dropping it. One minute they're civilians, the next 2 they're not, then they're civilians again. They don't have rifles when they're doing this.

- henry2023 3y agoI don’t know why so many people defend the Israel genocide. Everyone I meet offline including Israel born Jews are accusing their own government of genocide.
- js4ever 3y ago30k dead (from Hamas source) including at least 10k terrorists over a population of 2.2M is nowhere close to a genocide. Only hamas supporters are claiming it's a genocide.
- henry2023 3y agoHalf of that population was already displaced and lack basic services such as food, shelter, and electricity. Israel even goes to bomb civilian shelters because why not. I’m glad you’re not being targeted by any genocide but if you would. I’d stand for you.
- js4ever 3y agoHamas (elected government of Palestine) started a war on October 7. Did they expected no retaliation? Jews should just die silently? Not really going to happen. As anywhere else in the world, response to this kind of attack Is a war. When terrorists use shelters or any civilian infrastructure to launch rockets they are turning them In legitimate targets according to laws of wars.
- 0xcde4c3db 3y ago> Hamas (elected government of Palestine) My understanding is that Hamas candidates won a plurality of seats in an election in 2006, then Hamas essentially started a civil war in which it rejected the legitimacy of Fatah (and, by extension, the internationally-recognized leadership of the Palestinian Authority) and seized control of the Gaza Strip for itself. It does not rule the West Bank, where the majority of Palestinians live. I would not describe that as the "elected government of Palestine". Am I misunderstanding something?

- Workaccount2 3y agoI don't see what that has to do with hamas fighters properly identifying themselves. However I can't help but feel that it would dramatically lower collateral damage as regular civilians would also know who is a target and who is a civilian.
