    Hamas’s actions are pretty unambiguously war crimes

    Yes, and they’re also clearly terrorism.

    But then, Israel have been reportedly and apparently focusing on “power targets”, which are defined as those with little to no military value, where the goal is to destabilise the civilian population such that they put pressure on Hamas to enact change. “Using violence against civilians in pursuit of a political goal” is the dictionary definition of terrorism.

    Both acts are horrific, and above the threshold of anything that could be considered acceptable. It frankly isn’t even worth comparing the two to try and figure out which one is worse - to do so would only tarnish your soul. They’re different, but they’re both unequivocally wrong.
