Israel can, and should be, the bigger man in this. They have Iron Dome which is proving reasonably effective.

The bigger man? Such sentiments are easy when you haven’t got rockets landing indiscriminately around you! At least the Israelis are trying to target Hamas. Unfortunately Hamas are using human shields – this is not Israels fault. There also appears to be huge support for Hamas, so to an extent the population of Gaza are responsible.

The situation is unworkable, until Hamas goes there can’t be any peace, and Hamas will always have a place while there is a large resentment of Israel.
