Am I wrong? Every move they make seems to maximize civilian casualties on both sides. What has Hamas done to minimize civilian casualties?
Sorry for my aggressive response, I thought you were trolling but it seems you may have been serious.
In that case, yes you're wrong. Hamas' goal is liberation of their people, not maximizing casualties. Israel's goal is establishing and maintaining a Jewish state, so maximizing casualties (belonging to the wrong religion or ethnicity) is their goal.
What definition are you using of "terrorist organization" that doesn't apply to Israel?
Oh, I guess it is "something designated as terrorist organization by the west".
Israel is a legitimate state. Hamas has no interest in governance and exists solely to (in its own words) "obliterate" Israel.
Israel is an apartheid state. Hamas is a resistance against it.
Also nice avoiding the question. I never expected an answer from you anyways.
That is not what they're publicly saying. Easily verified on their website.
You didn't answer the question. What is Hamas doing to minimize civilian casualties?
Fighting Israel and its murder machine, which is the main entity causing civilian casualties.
