lt seems you got lucky. Typical freshly divorced guys one hears about, own half of a house that they can't use any more, but still a mountain of loans to pay, while in parallel having to pay monthly alliments to their ex-wifes.
Happy it worked out for you so well!
Because Hamas then wouldn't stand a chance and prefers to use the civillians as a tactical asset to increase their odds, which is asshole-behaviour.
And because the Israelis decided to don't care about this civilians any more, which is also asshole behaviour.
So, in short: because both are assholes.
