whose fault is that though? It's not the Israeli's fault the surrounding countries are blocking refugees and it's certainly not their fault that the terrorist's strategy depends on a large civilian population acting as a shield. It's a rock and a hard place situation because the whole area pretty clearly needs to be pacified from anyone sane living in Israel's perspective, as the raping, pillaging and murder orchestrated against israel that started this latest campaign can not be allowed to happen again and from the Hamas position their whole goal is to exist and cause atrocities against the Israelis until they leave. This all seems like a very measured response given the reality of the situation.
