>IDF or Likud

The IDF and Likud does not have a policy of attacking civilians to achieve political or war goals.

They likely have some deranged and radicalized commanders who do this anyway, but it's not the organizational policy.

Top-down messaging like that certainly doesn’t strengthen whatever ‘policy’ is

They spent a year bombing an inhabited city into rubble, killing tens of thousands of civilians. Whatever definition of "policy" you're using here isn't particularly useful I don't think.

The IDF and Likud literally just killed orders of magnitude more civilians than Hamas in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.

Is this difference because Hamas values human lives more or because they lack strength to do more harm?

And literally zero members of Hamas. It's fascinating how all the population of Palestine consists exclusively of child journalists.

If some really weak person kept trying to kill you by punching you in the face would you hold your own punch back to only hurt them the same amount or would you absolutely deck them?

Why give credit to the paper tiger for not killing? It is unable to.
