Is “resistance” bound by any rules at all?

Even if no Israeli can be considered a civilian, Hamas has committed a string of war crimes. Assuming there are any limits beyond Israel bad, Hamas good.

After a few days lurking on Xwitter and sending my blood pressure into the stratosphere, I’ve decided to disengage for my own mental health. So here’s how I suspect the anti-anti-Hamas discourse is going:

“Hamas didn’t take any Israeli children hostage! That’s a Zionist lie!”

[Hamas publishes video of Israeli children they’re holding hostage in Gaza]

“These toddlers will have to serve in the IDF someday so they’re combatants.”

Or, if you’re The Toronto Star’s Heather Mallick, about whom I had forgotten until Hansard reminded me that she is and always will be the fucking worst, you just say they can fake any kind of video with CGI these days.
