Hamas has a goal not to make life better for Palestinians, but to kill all Jews.
Israel can keep pulling the trigger until the threat is gone, just like Canada would in the same situation. I hate the fact the Palestinians are helpless here - but they need to know peace is what Israel wants, provide it and things will change.
Wrongdoing? War sucks, big time. I wish it wasn't taking place. Any time a shot is fired there is a very good potential for something to go wrong. If your thoughts are that Israel is purposely targeting kids, that is too bad. Israel could not do more to change your mind and they probably won't - sometimes bias is impossible to break.

Is Israel a victim here? You bet. How many rockets were fired while the world was silent before Israel responded? Are Palestinians a victim? Yes, however they have many options they continue to not take. Voting Hamas did not help, getting rid of Hamas right now does not help. As long as Hamas is in power and attacking Israel this situation will not end. |
Yet to date, Hamas has never used those tunnels to attack civilians. All operations out of those tunnels have been targeted at the IDF, when they could have easily caused more casualties by targeting nearby towns.
Seems as though Hamas, a terrorist organization, might be holding itself to a higher standard than the IDF.
