The service that hosts the accounts of all branches of the US military, all major weapons contractors, all three letter agencies, and many foreign militaries, governments, and world leaders guilty of all manner of war crimes, and this is where they draw the line for violence. Really interesting.

Also don’t forget that Hamas has many official twitter accounts in various languages.

Have they posted suggestions of shooting their own citizens and not been sanctioned by Twitter?

Why draw the line at "their own citizens"? Have they posted suggestions of shooting people who aren't their own citizens?

Depends on the Twitter regulations, war is generally not illegal. Summary capital punishment usually is unlawful; though there are exceptions. So I was trying to account for that.
