Given the barbaric attack on Israel by Hamas on 07-Oct, when 1200 innocent people were butchered, what should Israel's response have been? How should they eliminate Hamas?

There’s no hiding behind anything in pointing out that the daily massacre of women and children in Gaza is a wholly disproportionate response to a terrorist act.

By being unable to understand this concept - or unwilling to humanise Palestinian life in the same way everyone is encouraged to does in order to draw out emotive responses for Israeli life (rape, beheadings, etc) - and unable to state a limit leads ultimately to the tacit approval of unlimited barbarity by the Israeli state up to and including the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

Once again you put up the straw man of eliminating Hamas. As worthwhile a concept in the discussion as a manned mission to Mars.
