Just to add, the Hamas attack was a deliberately barbaric one aimed at Israeli civilians. Should those responsible be punished? Absolutely. But is Israel's retaliation much better? Not doubting for one second that their attack s have not targeted Hamas but there is plenty of "collateral damage" in the process. Over 1300 Israeli dead and now over 1300 Palestinians. The majority innocent civilians caught up in a tit for tat escalation between two hard-liners. Way to go Mohammed Dief and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Or am I missing something?
