You know I always find it a convenient argument.
I lived in Israel from 91 to 2003. The rockets are fired from the local Palestinian population. There isn't a good way to stop rockets without striking launch locations and ammo storage locations back. When did Israelis go to Gaza for the sole reason of killing Palestinians for PR?
Does Israel have a much superior army to the Hamas? Why couldn't they eradicate them then? Because they use their own population as a meat shield. Israel doesn't want to harm that population. Killing civilians was never the goal, stopping rocket fire, and murders/explosions is.
That's one of the reasons Hamas uses schools and hospitals to store ammo. That's also the reason it often recruits teens younger than 18 to cause provocations. If the teen gets hurt then Israel is killing children.
