The reason you don’t hear people continually calling out those organizations is that no one is trying to justify their behaviour. Every attack by Hamas or Hezbolah is condemned. Start a thread justifying any above the above countries actions and see the results. The concern of many in this thread is Israel’s care for Civilians in these attacks is not sufficient. Too many civilians die in the war against these peoples which is not acceptable given the asymmetric powers fighting the war.
They choose to kill civilians rather than risk Israeli soldiers.

I'm comparing them this way because it's faster, because the other side is all too quick to excuse those organizations.
If you want feel free to compare Israel no the US, Canada, or NATO. Should we examine the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Should we look into facilities like Guantanamo Bay?
What realistically should Israel do differently, without rewarding the terrorists they're fighting for their tactics? Moreover note that the West's tactics when fighting terrorists are largely ineffective.
