I was going to say the same thing. If Malaysia were using airplanes to hide rockets used to fire on Russia, the comparison would be appropriate, but obviously that is not the case.
The fact that Hamas routinely hides people and weapons among the civilian population isn't even debatable. I am not saying that should give Israel the right to destroy any civilian targets they want and I honestly have no idea if some, any or all of the latest targets involved hidden weapons or not. No one here knows, but it likely happens frequently that they do, just based on past events. One could argue that with the population density of Gaza, that the whole strip is essentially a civilian area or a militant area. It certainly makes precision attacks difficult.
I just hope it gets resolved soon because there is no denying that there is a terrible humanitarian situation.
