War is not terrorism. I suggest you read about the cities that were virtually decimated by air bombing campaigns during World War II. There is a very distinct definition of terrorism, and Hamas fits that definition to the T.The same as the US Department of Defense?
"The Department of Defense Dictionary of Military Terms defines terrorism as:
"The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological."
U.S. Department of Defense Definition of Terrorism
In 1991 the US military deliberately targeted Baghdad's electrical grid, knocking out power to 1410 water treatment plants serving 22 million (mostly civilian) Iraqis. This was done in violation of Article 54 of the Geneva Conventions which call the willful destruction of items essential to the survival of a civilian population a war crime.
Material Breach: US Crimes in Iraq
Half-a-million Iraqi children died as a consequence of those bombs and UN sanctions that prevented Iraq from obtaining equipment and chemicals necessary for water treatment, and it was entirely predicted in a 1991 USDIA document which forecast "increased incidences, if not epidemics, of disease."
That's terrorism Hamas can never match.
Yup, it's deaf, dumb, and BLIND.Where does it not say that?Nope.
Just answer the question.
I see the name calling but I don't see any proof.

Chapter 6 -- Terrorist Organizations
Activities: Prior to 2005, HAMAS conducted numerous anti-Israeli attacks, including suicide bombings, rocket launches, improvised explosive device (IED) attacks, and shootings. HAMAS, however, has not directly targeted U.S. interests, although the group makes little or no effort to avoid soft targets frequented by foreigners. The group curtailed terrorist attacks in February 2005, after agreeing to a temporary period of calm brokered by the PA, and ceased most violence after winning control of the PA legislature and cabinet in January 2006. After HAMAS staged a June 2006 attack on IDF soldiers near Kerem Shalom that resulted in two deaths and the abduction of Corporal Gilad Shalit, Israel took steps that severely limited the operation of the Rafah crossing. HAMAS maintained and expanded its military capabilities in 2007. In June 2007, HAMAS took control of Gaza from the PA and Fatah in a military-style coup, leading to an international boycott and closure of Gaza borders. HAMAS has since dedicated the majority of its activity in Gaza to solidifying its control, hardening its defenses, tightening security, and conducting limited operations against Israeli military forces.
HAMAS fired rockets from Gaza into Israel in 2007 but focused more mortar on attacks targeting Israeli incursions. Additionally, other terrorist groups in Gaza fired rockets into Israel, most, presumably, with HAMAS support or acquiescence. HAMAS internal security efforts have centered on confronting threats to the groups hold on power, including arrest operations against Fatah. In June 2007, HAMAS took control of Gaza, leading to a drawn-out struggle between HAMAS and supporters of Fatah. The majority of HAMAS activity in Gaza is directed at solidifying their control over Gaza and weakening Fatah through kidnappings, torture, and the use of the Executive Force as a de-facto security apparatus. The continued international boycott and perceived efforts to destroy HAMAS have increased anti-U.S. sentiment on the Palestinian street, a development that could lead cells affiliated with HAMAS to launch attacks, including suicide bombings, without the sanction of HAMAS senior leadership.
Strength: HAMAS probably has several hundred operatives in its armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, along with its reported 9,000-man Executive Force and tens of thousands of supporters and sympathizers.
Location/Area of Operation: HAMAS has an operational presence in every major city in the Palestinian territories and currently focuses its anti-Israeli attacks on targets in the West Bank and within Israel. HAMAS could potentially activate operations in Lebanon or resume terrorist operations in Israel. The group retains a cadre of leaders and facilitators that conducts diplomatic, fundraising, and arms smuggling activities in Lebanon, Syria, and other states. HAMAS is also increasing its presence in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, probably with the goal of eclipsing Fatahs long-time dominance of the camps.
External Aid: HAMAS receives some funding, weapons, and training from Iran. In addition, fundraising takes place in the Gulf countries, but the group also receives donations from Palestinian expatriates around the world and private benefactors in Arab states. Some fundraising and propaganda activity takes place in Western Europe and North America.

War is not terrorism.
Indeedy. War can cause terror as all wars do, but becomes terroristic when one or both groups primarily and intentionally target civilians. Which is what Palestinans, Muslims, and Hamas do all the time. Unlike your desperate futile attempts and lies, designating Hamas as a terrorist group involved an extensive investigation of Hamas' ongoing behavior and facts. There are other groups on the list of terrorist organizations, and clearly Hamas belongs with them.Chapter 6 -- Terrorist Organizations

So then, why are Palestinan civilians and non-combatants in a war zone when the IDF is conducting operations.Why aren't the terrorists away from them and engaging the IDF like men instead of hiding behind the women and kids.

Is that a euphemism for lying?
Every time you open your fucking twat mouth you lie, scumbag. Still claiming there's no anti-tank rockets in gaza, fuckhead?
I suggest you read up on wars of aggression and then tell us which country is the greatest purveyor of violence in this world.War is not terrorism. I suggest you read about the cities that were virtually decimated by air bombing campaigns during World War II. There is a very distinct definition of terrorism, and Hamas fits that definition to the T.The same as the US Department of Defense?
"The Department of Defense Dictionary of Military Terms defines terrorism as:
"The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological."
U.S. Department of Defense Definition of Terrorism
In 1991 the US military deliberately targeted Baghdad's electrical grid, knocking out power to 1410 water treatment plants serving 22 million (mostly civilian) Iraqis. This was done in violation of Article 54 of the Geneva Conventions which call the willful destruction of items essential to the survival of a civilian population a war crime.
Material Breach: US Crimes in Iraq
Half-a-million Iraqi children died as a consequence of those bombs and UN sanctions that prevented Iraq from obtaining equipment and chemicals necessary for water treatment, and it was entirely predicted in a 1991 USDIA document which forecast "increased incidences, if not epidemics, of disease."
That's terrorism Hamas can never match.
