But then you've got to question motives- from what I've seen, Hamas isn't killing people in order to press an agenda, they're killing people so that Israelis will die, so that eventually life will become unpleasant enough that the rest will leave, but if they don't, they'll kill them, too. Under that definition, a militant group- in my book, probably worse for it, but there ya go.
Uhm... what part about wanting Jews out of Israel and into the sea isn't a "political agenda"?
And as for live fire vs. riot control (FYI)... every single Israeli patrol jeep, armored or not, has riot control equipment. The order in which they are used is: flash-bangs, tear gas, pellet shots (not sure of the official term for this), and rubber bullets. Maybe someone should point the American CinC to this post?
