> Gaza not allowed to have any military to defend themselves?

They are absolutely allowed to have a military I think. Edit: At least for all intents and purposes they do have one when they can coordinate large rocket attacks and do have numerous anti tank teams.

They are however not using it to defend thenselves but to poke "pointed sticks" into their neighbor in the hope that te neighbor will do something that the media will make a story of.

And, since it is military the neighbor is also allowed to bomb it when they are fed up with having shot rockets at their civilians.

Edit2:

> Isreal free to inflict as much collateral damage as they want upon anyone, but anyone else following the same rules is a terrorist?

If Israeli military was hiding among civilians and Hamas precision strikes hurt civilians despite Hamas calling them up an hour in advance I wouldn't blame Hamas either.

That is some of the difference.
