Given the demographics of those killed by Israel are squarely in line with the civilian population broadly (i.e. there's no meaningful over-reprentation of Hamas, which we'd expect from purposeful targeted attacks against them), you'd apply your arguments consistently and defend Hamas attacking the IDF within Israel with similar civilian casualty rates (putting aside the whole national service, everyone is a combatant thing), right?
...right?
Thought not.
Why would I defend either side killing civilians..?
