The Palestinians have had no champions for peace, none. Israeli people have evolved under this terror yet still hope for peace.

Apparently Israel had just recently loosened the blockade on Gaza as well allowing citizens from Gaza to get work permits in Israel. Whatever goodwill may have come from that will never be recovered.
I have to say, the footage of suffering and loss coming out of Gaza today gives me the same anxiety of seeing the terrorist attacks in Israel. You hate to see it no matter who it is, but I understand why Israel has to respond like this. According to some news outlets, Hamas has rocket launching equipment and weapons stored in residential high rises where people live. It just really sucks people are being used as meat shields. One Israeli politician said that they told Hamas ahead of time which buildings were going to be hit and gave them time to evacuate residents, but Hamas refuses to pass on the warnings.
