when the problem is that civilian settlements should not be targeted to begin with.
I don't, don't get me wrong. But a lot of comparisons paint Hamas as an unsalvageable terrorist organization that should be wiped off the face of the Earth and the IDF as a "legitimate" army running rampant. You'll see this in people saying Hamas should be dismantled while the IDF should be forced to respect international law, which is wrong. Both should be dismantled, and if anything I'd be more comfortable with Hamas continuing to exist than the IDF, since Hamas at least has done the absolute bare minimum to try to end the fighting before (see: 2008, 2012-2013, more 2013). What I want to say is that the IDF and its genocidal Apartheid state Israel is even less compatible with peace than Hamas. Either a one state solution or a complete restructuring of Israeli law and government are necessary here.
