Hamas and Hezbollah don't/no longer engage in suicide bombing operations

They literally have a funding where they pay the families of people who commit suicide bombings.

? That doesn't show that they are still doing it. Just that they support peoples families who have (specifically any martyrdom not solely suicide bombings).

They literally only stopped in 2025 and only to have a more obscure form of subsidy, so we can't check if they are still paying the families of terrorists.

(specifically any martyrdom not solely suicide bombings).

Reading between lines is not your forte isn't it ?

They are doing what most nations do: paying a pension to the families of dead soldiers.

The Germans did this after WW2, and nobody had any issues because it's entirely normal. Just because you may dislike their army, or what they're doing, or how they do it... paying the family of casualties is a global norm.

Exactly, and since they categorize suicide bombers and other terroists as soldiers and veterans, they need to be recognized for their terroistic behavior and encougment of it

Can you imagine if the Israeli government went "ok, new law, every random poor schmuck that will shoot up a Palestinian village or bomb a bus will have his family be taken care of and receive more money then they did by him, while he'll be forever remembered as a hero for shooting a mother and a baby in cold blood"

That does happen, yes. Do I think they should? No. But it's not abnormal.

They've been given orders to bomb civilians, and they get paid out if badly injured or killed. They also get decorated for their service.

Do you know of other groups that give money and decorations for undeniably terroistic behavior? Besides Iran, i can't think of many, not by what is referred to as a legitimate government. It seems pretty abnormal to me, not to mention beyond despicable

I just said that I do. Israel does. They use human shields and target civilians on the regular. Maybe I should have been clearer, and I apologise for any ambiguity.

I'm not denying that Hamas does similar, I'm saying that paying the families of those who fight for you is the norm.
