Same goes to anyone in the IDF. They're all terrorists to me. People who love killing in the name of the group they belong to are terrorists.
I'm sure there are some Hamas members who are there for different reasons but they're still a terrorist. Same with the IDF. If you're part of an army that killed 15000 children in the last year then the blood is on your hands as well.
I'm against the killing of anyone innocent, unlike you.

Comparing the IDF to Hamas is complete nonsense. The Hamas answers to no one. They shot unarmed civilians, elated, and recorded themselves doing it. If an IDF soldier did it he would end up in prison. The IDF charter and regulations do everything to follow the International humanitarian law outlined in the Geneva conventions.
Now you assume that the IDF loves killing. It's an army, and it's mandatory conscription for anyone who turns 18 in Israel, with a couple of minor exceptions. I'm sure that the vast majority of its soldiers never killed anyone, or have been on the front lines.
Finally, you've never been on a battlefield, and never experienced the raw emotion of being thrust into war. Mistakes do happen, a lot, because fear, and human errors are still factors. It's awfully convenient criticizing soldiers from your comfy couch.
It's interesting you're trying to spin it as though I support the killing of innocents. It couldn't be farther from the truth. No one wants to see innocents die. However, leaving Hamas in power would truly mean that all those innocents that died on both sides, died for nothing. Israel as a country isn't going anywhere.
