Hamas didn’t do a terrorist attack. A war crime, sure. A terrorist attacked, no.
I'm genuinely intrigued by how you separate those terms in reference to the Hamas attack on the music festival.
Not being confrontational. I'm struggling with a mean does or does not equal average does or does not descriptive statistic conversation on another thread.
Off the cuff, my take has been "Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Israeli Military is a much bigger and more agregious terrorist organization. Let them have eachother and let Israili and Palestinian civilians make music together".
So here I am genuinely interested in your (and anyone elses) answer to "what is a terrorist attack, and how does it differ from a war crime? Bonus points: In current events, explain how Hamas has committed war crimes, but not terrorist attacks?"
