Saying Israel is at war with Gaza to take Gaza strip is like saying the American military went to war with Afghanistan to colonize Kabul. It doesn't matter who "won" in the bigger scheme of things, what matters is that Israel, like any other country, is obliged to provide its citizens with the maximal level of personal safety. Having rockets and mortars shot at, teenagers kidnapped and executed and - last but not least - tunnels spanning kilometers that go underneath its borders and allow dozens of Jihadists to emerge in the middle of a neighborhood, contradicts the safety the government is entrusted to provide its citizens (of which 20% are Arabs, by the way - not that it matters).
