I'm all for military technology that saves lives. The Iron Dome system is fantastic. I can't say I'm for dropping the hammer, because it's almost entirely civilians getting killed. Hard to come across as the good guys when you're basically beating the kid next door with a barbed wire bat in retaliation for largely ineffective bottle rockets. The more Israel does shit like this, the more inclined your average Palestinian is going to support the guys who fight back.If you want to stop Hamas from being a major threat, stop driving people to them.

Specifically why Hamas is incentivized to continue indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli population centers. This is why terrorism works.
