    I have found myself wondering if Israel’s actions are causing Hamas to grow faster than they can kill its members. Where’s the saying come from, “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter”? Were my family and friends being killed just for existing, with the sole excuse being that there might possibly have been terrorists in the area maybe, I can’t say I’d be content to sit idly by to watch others suffer the same. And I suspect I’m not alone in that.

      It absolutely is creating more terrorists than they kill members of Hamas.

      But, also, Hamas is the government. Being Hamas doesn’t mean you’re military. There’s loads of people who work for Hamas that are not terrorists, just like there’s loads of people working for the US government who are not terrorists. Hamas includes social workers, doctors, sanitation workers, etc
