    Of course im justifying their use of child soldiers. What im wondering is how YOU identify a soldier of Hamas vs a citizen of Palestine defending their home from a military invasion. Because last i checked there are no uniform factories in palestine

      You identify them through their chain of command. If they are getting weapons and/or instructions from Hamas, they’re a soldier.

        Do you honestly believe there is an army on this earth capable of tracking the chain of command for every enemy they encounter?

          No, I believe that if you have a terrorist hiding in a home with 5 civilians who aren’t giving them up or stopping them, you have 6 terrorists. I believe that if some of those are children, then their parents have failed them. They don’t deserve to die, but they also don’t have a right to complain about getting bombed at that point. Choices were made, and actions have consequences.
