I think it does. If you support the IDF campaign in Gaza then you must be able to sanction the deaths of civilians. For any rational, humane person there should be a red line here i.e. over what number is the response disproportionate? What number is too many?
The inability or unwillingness to answer questions like these is telling ..

I'll put a confected question to you: How many Israelis should be murdered by Hamas before Israel should pursue the eradication of Hamas?

There is nothing artificial or false about my question, it is very real and the fact that you can only answer the question with a question is revealing.
To answer your question which, by the way, is framed in an illogical form: Israel has been waging war with Hamas for years, since they helped to create it. No Israelis or Palestinians should be deliberately killed in pursuit of the removal of Hamas.
There were always another ways to respond to the Hamas attack. More considered and surgical ways. The problem was that BiBi was caught with his pants down. The most surveilled "border" in the world, manned by 24x7 monitors, cameras, drones, automated weapons systems allows 100's of Hamas militants through without alarms is very, very strange. Something that the world is yet to get clarity on.
He had to go in strong and hard to save face with the consequences we can all see. It won't save him though.
