Is it worth sacrificing some personal liberties to protect our country from terrorism?
This is a highly-contested question and the answer often depends on which personal liberties are up for re-evaluation.

Where any person falls on this question is very much a personal question and those who want more security are stigmatized as insensitive to the innocent victims caught in the crossfire, while those who want more liberties are stigmatized as insensitive to the violence and death caused by terrorism.

Answer 1
The assertion is that Hamas locates military assets in civilian zones. There is no reason to expect that Hamas or Israeli leaders should not live among civilians. Leaders and statesmen are usually not considered valid military targets.
Answer 2
The question misunderstands the assertion. It is not that Hamas Leaders locate themselves in civilian areas that is the issue, but that rockets and missiles are launched from civilian zones. As a result, Israel finds that in destroying the weaponry, there are civilian casualties. Additionally, Hamas adds to the carnage by specifically choosing places like schools where the innocents involved will be women and/or children. Israeli leaders usually put missile batteries, military airstrips, and other war-related technologies outside of civilian zones (like most countries) so that conflict will not involve civilian casualties.
Note that unlike certain others, Israel does all it can to avoid targeting civilians.

Why did the terrorists bomb Bali?
An audio-cassette purportedly carrying a recorded voice message from Osama Bin Laden stated that the Bali bombings were in direct retaliation for support of the United States' war on terror and Australia's role in the liberation of East Timor. This attack was claimed as the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of Indonesia according to the current police general, killing 202 people including 88 Australians, 38 Indonesian and 5 Swedish citizens and 240 people were injured.

After the Bali bombing, the US classified Indonesia as a frontline country in the global war on terror and provided funds and training to an elite counter-terrorism squad, Detachment 88, set up in the wake of those blasts. The results exceeded many expectations: The last major attack against foreigners was in 2009, and Jemaah Islamiyah, Al Qaeda's Southeast Asian offshoot responsible for the 2002 Bali bombing, has been crippled by a police crackdown and rifts within the organization. And all of the major suspects who participated in the 2002 Bali attack have been killed or imprisoned. Indeed, for the past 15 years, since strongman President Suharto stepped down, Indonesia has been a model of stability.

And from such people turn away!
