Maybe it's more complex than you make out eg Israel was refusing eg tents and sleeping bags on the grounds they could be used to make uniforms for Hamas. So maybe they have little choice (or walk around naked).
Yeah right, they could build mansions while palestinians civilians suffered, they smuggled drugs but uniforms where to much? They have a choice and their choice is not saving civilians, they said so themselves in various different wordings but it all comes down to the same. they don't see civilian lives as their priority.
Hamas are the elected Government.
They are not, you might argue their political wing was but since they have faded to the ditch their bodies are probably dumped in, it's not fair to mention that.
On paper Gaza is under control of the palestian authority only on paper tough.(PLA cannot move safely trough Gaza)
The only elections they have had so far on Gaza also lacked severely in terms off standard we internationally value for elections, like voter privacy and those kind of things.
Just because somebody may be a Party member does not make them a terrorist (I've not even seem evidence he was a Hamas member and the trouble is Israel keeps making these allegations with no evidence suppied eg driving in a suspicious manner without lights ... until ... video.
That is also wrong, i challenged @glascowcyclist but he didn't respond, the actual idf report is much longer and doesn't shy away from criticism on their own organisation but is not as dramatic as Hamas wanted so they ignored that and pretended the video was the first evidence that came to light.
And again for the record, seeking the actual truth is not supporting Hamas,
maybe start by looking at the best attempt of actual evidence instead of brainlessly repeating political Hamas's line.
being suspicious of a Government who have repeatedly lied and never provides evidence is not supporting Hamas, etc.
Ian.
Indeed nothing wrong with being suspicious, but that something else than what you claim futher''never supplied evidence'' you might dispute it but they did on multiple occasions supplied evidence.
Also Because Israel is a somewhat working society so not every Israeli agrees with the government line, some Israeli media are actually quite critical of the government.
