You just said they want revenge. So you want to say they can get revenge but still hide behind a civilian label. Nice try.
So thought-crime? They can't "hide" behind a civilian label because they felt angry about the deaths of their families? How many, realistically, are going to act on it? Because I specifically said that they want it, not that they are going to pursue it.
And fuck it, let's add to the fact that many are ACTIVELY trying to get out, and even of those, not many actually have the means or are too afraid of being killed whilst fleeing. Is that the actions of a so-called combatant?
You're arguing my point. Both sides KNOW the other wants to end their existence and everyone on both sides is doing as much as they are willing to that end. For some it is paying their taxes. Others, sending their children to a school they know harbours Hamas weapons. Some spit and throw rocks at soldiers and some pick up an AK. Israel has stopped hesitating when it comes to the 2nd and 3rd category and stopped caring about the first and frankly I don't blame them.
You know Hamas is intentionally hiding amongst the civilians to garner sympathy and you're supporting that strategy by falling for it instead of decrying that warcrime.
You don't blame the IDF. So much for the "both sides suck" facade. And I don't see how you yourself can keep arguing about Hamas warcrimes when, as you've said, civilians are supporting the cause. That would mean they are fair game under your views. You can't have a "both sides suck" opinion when you've made notes that one side should clearly be justified.
blame them... In that regard. Things like tying prisoners to the roof of vehicles I don't give a pass to.
