[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]No, if Hamas and Hezbollah choose to secrete themselves into civilian neighborhoods, as they saying goes, "you get what you get".

[b]The overwhelming Palestinian population has elected Hamas as the government of Gaza[/b].[/quote]

The bolded is not true. There was never an election for the government of Gaza. The Israelis also put their bases in civilian areas. I guess you won't complain if Israeli civilians are harmed during attacks on those installations.

C'mon now.  Israeli military installations are clearly marked as such for the most part.  Hamas uses any building for military purposes and frequently hides in and under schools and hospitals.  You can't compare the two.

Hamas came to power in the 2006 legislative election.  They won 74 seats compared to Fatah's 45.  I wouldn't call it overwhelming, but it was a clear majority.  How is that not an election?  Hamas then proceeded to kill off the opposition party and hasn't held an election since.  Maybe that's what you're referring to?[/quote]

I will repeat. Hamas won legislative positions for the entire Palestinian Authority, not Gaza alone. Moreover, it is the executive branch, which Hamas did not win, that governs. In a thread started to dunk on Zoomers for not knowing history, you guys should at least understand government.
