[You have no problem with Hamas fighting Israel? Not even their targets and tactics
No I have no problem with them fighting Israel and if the same thing happened here I would fight the occupiers also. I did not even mention there tactics, yes I have a problem with terrorist tactics. So I have no problem with them fighting Israel but I do not necessarily agree on some of their tactics if they are indeed targeting innocent people. There is a fine line between terrorist tactics and collateral damage and usually what side of that fine line you sit on is based on perspective.

Not usually... not always at least... and definitely not often enough where we can't make a distinction between right and wrong.
Walking into a market full of Civilians, Tourists, Students, and Children and very little Military or police presence to blow up a bomb with the expressed intentions to kill those civilians is just plain wrong. And as if that's not cowardly enough, they have also resorted to using children, the mentally handicapped.. and mentally handicapped children to carry their bombs instead of doing it themselves.
I can understand suicide bombings... provided the bomber them self is a willing participant who is capable of making decisions for themselves, and that the intended target is a military one, or at least very important element of the enemy's infrastructure. If something were to go awry in that case, and civilians were killed.. It would be a horrible, unfortunate thing.. but it would be justified. But that's not what is happening!
Journalists being kidnapped and even decapitated? Civilians waiting in line to vote being threatened or killed? Olympic athletes murdered and kidnapped? Subways and buses being bombed? Bombing hotels full of vacationing civilians in countries that are fairly detached from the battle? Hijacking planes full of civilians and flying them into civilian buildings where plenty of other military installations were also available? Bombing supermarkets and places of worship? Using civilians as shields? Firing from inside houses of worship and hospitals?
There is NO fine line between a bomb going off course and hitting civilians, and sending a mentally handicapped child into a market, unaware that they're going to explode in order to kill civilians. You don't get to play the perspective card in those cases. Sorry.
Try taking it from the perspective as someone who is not on either side... There are plenty of instances of the right and wrong thing to do. It doesn't always have to be as blurry as you make it sound.
A judge isn't going to look at a murder suspect and say, "Well, if she was my wife and she cheated on me with the boss that just fired me, I might have killed her, her dog, and the neighbor kid too! I guess if I looked at it from his perspective..."

No I meant it to sound like I spend too much time posting on this board and not enough time actually watching the news so I really dont know.
The only thing I recall hearing about Hamas is them randomly launching rockets into Israel.
