So that makes it your turn to furnish a single photo of a Hamas militant in action, wearing a uniform.

As for wearing the ski masks, I guess its part of the history of the militia,

Right, and I wear a ski mask to my Elk's Club lodge meetings all the time too.

but I presume it is useful to prevent the individuals from being targeted when they are off duty.

I got a better idea: wear a uniform when you're on-duty. Then the Israeli's will know who to target, and who not. Do you ever take a moment to think, by the way?

Do US or IDF military personnel wear their uniform when off duty? If not, are they hiding amongst the civilians?

Wow, you got me there! And the US and IDF kill citizens when wearing civilian clothes too, right? Oh, wait, no they don't. IDF and US soldiers only act militarily when in uniform. Why is that, I wonder? ---- Do you ever stop to read what you're typing?

If they are wearing ski masks when on duty, as you have just admitted- they are pretty easy to distinguish from civilians, aren't they?]

Well, I'm stunned. I never claimed anything of the sort. Hamas members only wear ski masks only at rallies. You're claiming they do it during their off hours too, now? As some sort of method of identifying themselves as militants? Wow....

Not
justifies, Einstein, the argument was it
excuses. Given an enemy which actively hides among civilians, what would you expect?
