Since you love to oversimplify things, let me break it down for you. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, the Jews declared Gaza as their land which Palestinians were already living on. Israeli's moved in and took over more and more land. Israel, with the help of U.S. taxpayer money, basically blockades and controls borders of Palestinians. In every major conflict between the two, Palestinians were killed in disproportionate numbers.
Also, 1 out of 5 people killed since the beginning of the conflict has been a Palestinian child. When you see these numbers, it's hard to ignore. Hate to use antagonistic language when having a civilized discussion, but it seems you are being a bit naïve. How "IDF killing a bunch of innocent people" gets spun into "Hamas rockets forces Israel to protect itself" is beyond me sometimes, but that's the tired *** narrative that some people eat up all day everyday (i.e. Fox News demographic).
Have you not read the past 44 pages of this thread? I've condemned civilian deaths a bunch of times. However, the numbers are skewed a bit. We already know one sides protects its civilians while the other side thrives on the pictures of dead innocent civilians. Tell me why Hamas hasn't invested in the Palestinian population in Gaza by giving them shelters and etc? Because they'd rather invest that money to the destruction of Israel. You know what they could have done with that 600,000 tons of concrete? Thats why their boarders need to be controlled. Give them the freedom of open boarders, and it backfires on Israel.
