I'm curious what non-civilian buildings you think are in Palestine after their thorough and complete military dis-empowerment roughly since the formation of the Israeli state? Do you think this is like Command and Conquer or something where military operations are done out of clearly designated "war buildings?"

And again, as I said, even if Hamas was able to field a proper military, they would be slaughtered immediately because Israel has the full financial and tactical backing of the West. Their military is extremely akin to the United States, because we basically built it with them. That is why guerilla war exists and it's no coincidence that it came about and is used almost exclusively by colonized nations that cannot stand up to their colonizers in direct traditional combat.

And my point isn't that Hamas is akin to those other organizations, I don't know enough about this conflict to say that, and I'm guessing neither do you. What I do know is a long history littered with organizations that were, at their time, derided as terrorists and whatnot and were later vindicated when the history of the colonized people they fought for was finally allowed to be written.
