Reread your own comment genius.You said it was legitimate to target civilian areas because Hamas 'made its base' among civilians. Even accepting your premise that Hamas is running a terrorist operation, it's still a war crime to bomb civilian targets the way Israel does.
Interesting for an Israel supporter to raise international law. You know that occupation and annexation, forced removal of the local population and replacing them with your own population are all prohibited under international law right? And that the occupied population has the right to resist by any means, including violence? So why would you call Palestinian resistance to occupation terrorism then? It's very much legitimate use of violence then, under international law.
