the difference between american civilians, israeli civilians, and palestinian civilians? my argument is there shouldn't be, and it's very telling that you seem to think there should.
you need to contextualize the situation for the question to make any sense. Why are Hamas in America? Did they murder americans and then hide in a building? Does Hamas have control of a city/state and was elected? Are we talking about something equivalent to the civil war here?
this is why I am asking for more detail, because on the surface the comparison is not simply "put hamas in a building in america with american civilians -- should America bomb it?"
What are the logistics of the situation? Again, you need more detail for any of it to make sense.
I 100% value Americans more than Israelis or Palestinians for the record. I value Americans more than Chinese citizens too, I value the West more than any other part of the world.
