Nothing Israel does changes the equation for the Arabs, before the war they had no hope, after the war they will have no hope, if there was peace they will have no hope, nothing changes, they have nothing to lose except their lives and their lives are utter poverty stricken meaningless ####e.

Again, not trying to make this personal, but your posts implied you do not understand anything about this situation beyond the headlines you've read and an inferred understanding based on one perspective.
These are modern rockets supplied from Iran and other Shia jihadi groups through a network of tunnels and other means. These are not crude IEDs made from pots and fertilizer. These are expensive weapons and supported my somewhat modern military technology backbones. Have a look at Hamas' drone fleet, these aren't converted RC planes with C4 stuck to the underbelly.
You act like neither side can do anything to change things. The one thing that can be done is limiting support for Hamas through its funding. They indoctrinate the youth, make celebrity of martyrs, and pay handsomely for successful attacks on Israel. The culture there is to hate and destroy Israel. Until that changes and Hamas is seen for the destructive cultural force it is, Gazans will suffer by buying into the rage.
Things are so much better in the West Bank over Gaza for a litany of reasons, but a big piece is that they have weened themselves off of the Hamas kool-aide a lot more than Gaza.
