The "civilian population" has voted a terrorist organization into power and its the terrorist organization thats being targeted.
The word "terrorist" itself is a loaded and misleading term, since terrorism is a military strategy utilized by both countries and organizations. It was used in the past and will be used in the future. It's used by countries like the US, Pakistan, Russia, India and by organizations like the IRA, Tamil Tigers, Hamas etc.
So therefore, there is NOTHING wrong with terrorism since EVERYBODY uses it.
Such terms such as "terrorist", "freedom" and "democracy" are used by amateur debaters and uneducated pundits who can't see the wider picture.
The elections that brought Hamas in were the freest and fairest elections in the region, according to the Carter Center. The Palestinians were fed up with the corrupt Fatah party and Hamas which actually provided the civilians with neccessities was elected.
Now if you want to kill people for practicing democracy, then that's a Jewish trait. Another effective Jewish trait is that the Jew will always yell "Help I am being attacked", while killing your children and raping your women.
