The morality of the current war in Gaza seems to hinge around this point. I would argue that according to international law, Hamas is more wrong since using civilians to shield military targets is not condoned at all, and not only that but Hamas tells civilians to ignore Israeli warning pamphlets. That having been said, Israel is idiotically playing right into Hamas's recruitment campaign by bombing those targets anyway and not coming up with a different way to seize the weapons.

I doubt that is the case every single time. You are talking about millions of civilians in a very tightly cramped space. War is hell and I do not see either side as having a "clean" response to the other.

I think both need to give up on the stupid idea of religious nationalism. We are not a separate species.
