This is an accurate, unbiased description of Hamas. They are exactly that, the same way ISIL/ISIS is.
While this might be true, it's all about the context. They make it seem like the Israelis are targeting the "bad guys" and should be allowed to do so. But they don't mention the unrightful suffering and death of Palestinian civilians at all.
You now what I mean? If they call the Hamas a radical islamic terror organization (which I'm fine with), why don't they also call the Israelis a radical zionist terror organization?
What I want to read is, if the Hamas fucked up, then let me know about it, also, if the Israelis fucked up, I want to know about that too.
Because they aren't that.
There is no country on the planet that would not respond military to a thousand civilians being murdered via state-sponsored terrorism.
But haven't they oppressed the Palestinians for the past decades. Didn't they evidently commit crimes that fall under the umbrella of "terror"?
At some point, it's unavoidable for organisations to arise, that don't play by the rules anymore.
No. Words have actual meanings.
