Sometimes filmmaker/artist. Often up in arms. Big dreams/little bags. Crypto true believer. 

It is Hamas that is not truthful.

Do you equate the actions of a militia group with those of a state army?
What a great justification!

Feel free to clarify your question and wait for a response unless you prefer answering your own rhetorical questions. 
Open to engaging in civil discourse with you if you wish.

There is no need for a civil discourse. Understand the definitions of military forces as armies and militias, then refer to the Vietnam War, review all the evidence, and if there's anything left to discuss, we can continue.

Hamas, with the support of the majority of the people of Gaza, held the sovereignty of Gaza, while ISIS had no legitimacy.

Hamas is not fighting for a sovereign state; they are no differentthen ISIS. They are fighting to destroy religious and ethnic minorities. 
You don't want to engage in a civil course, duly noted, we'll end our engagement here.
