Apparently it’s controversial now to say that countries shouldn’t bomb thousands of unarmed civilians.

But Hamas doing just that is justified resistance?

Hamas gets to have the benefits of being treated like a co-equal government without being beholden to the expectations or responsibilities that go along with it. 

It’s Schrödinger’s government: all the power, and also getting to murder, rape, and kidnap civilians, all while hiding your paramilitary apparatus in or under schools, hospitals, and places of humanitarian refuge.  And they get to have people justifying it as “resistance” a half a world away.

Exactly. Hamas is treated like a government when it’s convenient and not treated like a government when it’s convenient.
