Are you saying Hamas ran a democratic state? I'd love to hear you make that argument. How long has it been since they allowed elections again?

But since you're making absurd leaps let me make one more. During World War II we bombed Germany's industrial sector. We did it to kill their ability to make tanks and missiles and airplanes. If we hadn't done that the Nazis would have kept going. Maybe even won the war who knows. The point is it was critical mission to destroy their ability to make war. You don't think any civilians got harmed in that? So you saying that no matter what crimes no matter what Horrors a nation perpetrates you can never attack that nation in defense because someone in that Nation might get hurt? Do you understand how absurd that sounds? The whole world has to sit down and let genocidal maniacs exterminate entire peoples. Slaughter children by the truckload. Let snipers play target practice on starving civilians. They can do that with impunity because if one person who doesn't agree with that Nation might get heard in the process then you can't retaliate. That's literally the argument you're making here. Gee I'm sure Netanyahu is a big fan of your argument here.
