It’s useless to try and label wars with an illegitimate nation when they don’t follows rules of any sort, just the one they will abide by. In Hamas case it doesn’t matter if their illegitimate or not. Once Israel retaliates, they use the legitimacy of the United Nations and the International Red Cross to have Israel condemn by the world. Their cries for humanitarian aid makes them the victim, because we all know they only want the humanitarian aid for the innocent civilians and not themselves. Hamas has their own form of terrorist politics which time and time makes them look like the underdog and Israel as the terrible aggressor who only wants to kill innocent civilians. Hamas is uncontrollable. They’re in a world of their own reliving over and over the day of their ancestors and not moving into the next day or year with any sense of changes that will do their people good. It’s doesn’t matter how many civilians support Hamas. Not enough has objected to Hamas to make an impact in the way they operate as a governing body. Not all civilians object to Hamas stashing weapons in their home. Not all civilians want Hamas to stop. As long as Hamas has the support of the people, they will continue to attack Israel and whoever they fell needs killing. No one can grant civilians immunity when Hamas looks actually as the civilians do. In reality, you can say there are no innocent civilians, until you can tell the difference between Hamas and an innocent civilian.
