Remember when the USA sent cruise missiles to blow up the entire block Osama Bin Laden was on? Neither do I.

The problem is that if Israel gave the UN, or NATO or whomever the option to get troops into Gaza to deal with a terrorist organization... no one would. Because once your own people soldiers start dying its bad press. No one wants to deal with a terrorist organization. Israel doesn't want to put its soldiers in danger, because if they start ground operation they will be entering urban warfare with the other side having explosives in houses and a network of tunnels to maneuver around your forces. In addition, you can't tell civilians form terrorists. You can only tell once they start shooting at you.
The bottom line is that there is no good solution. Israel withdrew its forces from Gaza in the hope that it would stop violence. It didn't and I don't see a way to get rid of Hamas. I also don't see a way for innocents to not get in the crossfire.
