It's war, you want the war to stop?
Then instead of demanding Israel stop their actions, go out and march, demanding that Hamas unconditionally surrender. All Hamas soldiers & leaders and should come out, lay down their weapons, release the remaining hostages and give Israel all of their arsenal so it can be destroyed.
Then Israel would stop.

I get it now. You are content for Israel to kill unlimited numbers of civilians in pursuit of Hamas. At least that is cleared up. I personally find this position indefensible on many levels but hey, it takes all sorts I suppose.

Yes, this is exactly the question I have been asking. In pursuit of the terrorists, how many dead & injured civilians is "too many"? Some are content to sanction an unlimited number but most people have more humanity than that.
I think this has gone too far. The UN, led by the US, should go in and establish safe zones that are, and are seen to be, Hamas free. This would provide a clear segregation and provide a place for people to live, with provision for food, water, power & medicines while the ongoing conflict plays out.
