You are nice and comfy in your mama's basement, while Israelis are fighting for their existence. Israel sits between Western civilization and the 7th Century barbarism of Islam. They deeply understand both worlds. Daniel Greenfield has defined it simply, and brilliantly when he says,
The soldier-civilian distinction has never mattered to the other side. As Ive already documented, there are numerous Fatwas defining all Israelis as soldiers. And Hamas and its supporters insist on defining all civilians as Jihadists.
Hamas does not recognize the distinction between fighters and civilians either on its side or on the Israeli side. That makes the conventional laws of wars useless.

But Israel also understands world politics. They are playing the middle in their fight for survival.

The IDF points this very thing out about Hamas, that they don’t protect the Gaza residents like the IDF does, while in the very same article they point out that the IDF DOES PROTECT the residents of Gaza.
What the IDF is calling attention to is, in so many words, that ...”We do NOT view the residents of Gaza as Hamas!”
That’s from the IDF itself!
