All of that may/may not be true but Israel's actions are only exacerbating the situation and turning more people against them. Those being pulverised in Gaza have few options, Israel has many and it's about time they acted with some humanity and broke the cycle of ever more aggressive and indiscriminate retaliation. Killing thousands of innocent people does nothing to aid their cause.
