I think we should get crystal clear on this: targeting civilians is an intentional tactical choice of both Hamas and the PLO.
I agree. I'm sure that the IDF has greatly exaggerated the level of violence committed by Palestinian fighters, but there's a tendency in western leftist spaces to present violence against settler "civilians" as unjustifiable and argue that it was accidental or that it didn't happen.
I've said it before: when you're being colonized, it's ridiculous for the colonizers to expect you to limit any violence you might commit in your struggle for liberation to only targets they say you can attack (heavily fortified military positions armed to the teeth, so that you can be pointlessly slaughtered).
The settlers forced Palestinians into a ghetto and murdered and abused them for decades while living on the stolen land. These tactics are the only option Palestinians have left, because Israel has made it clear that violence is the only language it's willing to speak. It doesn't mean that every person that dies deserves to, but that's not the point. Israel holds all the cards. All the violence in this conflict could stop today if they chose it. This is only happening because all other options were foreclosed to the Palestinians.
