Why are you comparing the two? You're insulting Israel by comparing them to a terrorist organization.

The Israeli Government should be better than criminals, just as the US should be better than the Taliban. But they actually kill more. Like it or not, Palestinians are citizens of Israel and living on their territory. If Israel kills them indiscriminately, they are committing a crime against humanity.

Palestinians are citizens of Israel

Never were.

They are defacto subjects of Israel, since the State of Palestine has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. If you don't call them full "citizens" it implies they are second class citizens in a apartheid-like state.

Do you want to do that?
