I don't buy it. Hamas are not the only terrorists in the world.

Most everyone else manages to defend themselves without slaughtering thousands of children and medical staff.

Shooting a car of civilians was a choice. Bombing an ambulance that came to save the child was a choice.

Those are deliberate choices, and those actions are internationally designated as war crimes for good reason.

Is there any other country in the world that is completely surrounded by hostile governments that have nearly all at one time threatened to run them into the sea? And acted on it at one time? If someone comes into my house and kills my daughters then threatened to do it again, ya I will go after them. I don't care if they hide behind those they say they are acting for.

If you're actually saying that in a hypothetical situation where someone kills your family member, you will indiscriminately murder bystanders and medical staff to get to them.

That just makes you sound like a loose cannon. Anyone who actually did that would rightly go to prison.
