"***Hamas*** is not the entirety of the population of Gaza."

No, it is the ELECTED GOVERNMENT of Gaza, elected by that population.




"And YOU want to let Israel bomb everything in the area in hopes they 'might' get a few Hamas militants? (those 'surgical' strikes are misnamed...surgeons do not use an axe when a scalpel is needed.) "


You have not been looking at the attacks, have you? Supply tunnels, specific buildings, etc. IF Israel was bombing everything in the area, there woyuld be tens of thousands dead. These ARE surgical strikes, unlike the area bombardments by Hamas antipersonnel (filled with ball bearings to inflict maximum harm on unprotected targets) rockets on the civilian population of Israel that everyone was silent about.

And the rate of TOTAL casualties in tiny, compared to the ACCEPTED number of Georgians killed by Russians in the near past. THAT was ok to many of those here who protest the Israeli action, but have been silent about the Hamas attacks on civilians.
