Seeing as how Israel dropped flyers telling the Palestinians to get out while they could, yes.....yes they are.
The problem is that the civilians support the destruction of Israel as well.
Riddle me this batman, if you had a wife and kids and today, Russia dropped flyers in your front yard telling you that they were going to mow America over in 24 hours with rockets, as a responsible husband/wife/parent....Would you be anywhere near America 24 hours from now?
Hamas is a military made up of civilians, one of the many reasons why its military sucks. Any world power exists because the people under that power allow it to exist.
Notice how the Palestinian people don't outcry about Hamas, or the Jewish kids who were murdered, no. They only outcry when they are getting attacked.
I'll say it again. I would lean on the theory that Palestinian civilians not only follow Hamas' lead and orders willfully, but follow their lead and orders with pride, honor, and support.
