There was a ceasefire. Israel did not adhere to the terms, specifically to open the border to allow humanitarian aid in so Gaza was no longer like a concentration camp. Israel also broke the ceasefire.
Regime change? They already had a democratic election, and Hamas was elected. Hamas "militants" are the army of the democratically elected government. Hamas police are the police force of the democratially elected government. The only regime that needs changing is the unelected, puppet "government" of Abbas and Fatah, who stand idly by while Israel expands settlements in the West Bank in violation of more UN Resolutions.
Well that assumes that Hamas broke the ceasefire, which they did not. Perhaps you can explain to me how Hamas is putting their citizens in harms way when the borders of Gaza, a DENSELY populated area, are sealed and the people have nowhere to go and it is Israel that is killing people. Over 1100 of them now.
You could not be more wrong and could not be more brainwashed. Hamas is a terrorist group because...the western media says so? It's pretty clear to me who is causing the most terror right now - a disproportionate amount of force (the terror option) in violation of multiple international laws and UN resolutions (the political option).
I would suggest to you that this conflict is more about crushing democratically elected Hamas because they are not sympathetic to the US/UK/Israel empire-building strategy that is currently being executed in the middle east (Afganistan, Iraq, even Kuwait). Once Hamas is crushed, Fatah will conveniently take power, and of course they are sympathetic to U.S interests.
Perhaps you might be persuaded to think outside the mainstream media message box for 5 mins:

How many civilians do you think it is acceptable to kill to gain geopolitical power?
You do have a short memory. Lebanon was flattened.
Erm no. Hamas is using the deaths of Palestinians as propoganda? You seem to have everything back to front. It is Israel that is engaging in an information war, shelling the buildings of journalists already in the Gaza strip, lying about the use of white phosporus, and censoring any other journalists by blocking their entrance. Egypt, of course, sadly is participating. Hell, the Israeli consulate in New York even launched a PR campaign on Twitter to spread more propaganda. Perhaps its time for you to broaden the scope of outlets that you get information from.
Geez, glad we agree on something.
