To differentiate between civilians and Hamas combatants to hopefully avoid “whataboutisms” from people who try to pick apart any innocuous statement on the Internet.
Hamas combatants were not so long ago normal people, pushed out of their homes by foreign settlers and then have their entire families turned to glass for peacefully protesting. This is not a “both sides have valid arguments” matter.
Why does it have to be one or the other? Killing Jews = bad. Killing innocent Palestinians = bad.
Why did you only add the innocent qualifier to the latter part?
