- bluefirebrand 3y agoYou could argue that by putting military installments among civilian infrastructure, Hamas has adopted a policy of Total War, effectively committing their entire population to the effort of war with Israel. How do you fight a country that is determined to kill you even if it costs them every man, woman and child? Of course people will disagree that Hamas is actually willing to commit every resource to the fight, but I dunno. They seem pretty ok using them as shields or bait or suicide bombers...
