The one thing that Hamas and Isis have in common is violence as an 'art form' - not dissimilar to the French Jacobins in the eighteenth century. The definition of Civilization is the monopoly of violence by the government, and Democracy as an elected form of that government. By this definition, Israel meets the definition of civilizational behavior; the one area they need to improve on is ceasing settlement activity, which acts as fuel for Hamas. Where the woke left fails is that they are trying to use civilization based arguments (ceasefire now, etc...) to champion a group that uses violence as an art form. The two are utterly incompatible.
