The Iron Dome does not negate the Israeli government's responsibility to respond to incessant missile attacks on their civilian population.
As for the tragic loss of civilian life in Gaza during this conflict, many of those deaths could have been avoided if Hamas accepted one of the many sustainable cease fire proposals put forth by Egypt last week, and didn't use deplorable tactics that intentionally put civilians in danger.

My thoughts: I do deplore the rocket firing done by Hamas, mainly because it endangers civilians in close proximity but they have a right to defend their sovereignty just as much as Israel has its right to have a home in the middle east (post 1948 treaty). But this is a one-sided affair I'm afraid. Israel have the technological and financial upper hand, the bigger bombs, the superior defense mechanisms (*Gaza have no defense), the greater backing by MSM and western influences, Israel are simply not seeing any physical threat when compared with Gaza and the extent of damage that has already taken place.

What are you talking about?
What would you do if some other country bombed yours? Would you be like, you know man, let them fire thousand of rockets at us, yes they are no match for us, and it's pretty stupid because no way in hell can they beat us, so just let them. It doesn't matter if one of those rockets actually hits buildings and kill people...I mean after all, they are weak.
Or would you be like, we should step up, and show them who the boss is, and that they can't mess with us?

This is still white washed pussy-footing around the issue. Israel is murdering people as a way of extortion to sway their victims parents to do what Israel wishes and throw out Hamas. The Palestinians will not, they elected Hamas to protect them from further Israeli annexation of Palestinian land. Israel is murdering Palestinians for the decision to protect themselves. Children are targeted because the Israeli's feel this will have the strongest emotional impact on the whole of Gaza and what is left of Palestine, in the hopes the Palestinians will just give up and beg for mercy which is easier for Israel to bargain with.

Armed resistance only way to deal with Zionists
“Until the time this cold-blooded murderous regime is obliterated through the help of God, the only way to deal with this destructive regime is strong armed resistance,” the Leader said during a meeting with a number of university students in Tehran on Wednesday evening.
He also said, “As Imam Khomeini stated, Israel must be annihilated, but of course the annihilation of Israel as the only real cure does not mean exterminating the Jewish people in the region.”

I don't remember when was the last time i've read something as naive as this. Palestine elected Hammas? So they knew they were going to be used as human shields for the sake of what? Launching baby rockets at Israel? They elected Hammas so they protect them from Israel? Are you being serious? Who started this whole thing? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't Israel. If they elected Hammas to protect them, then why did Hammas fired first? It makes no sense whatsoever.
And you claiming that Israel is targeting children on purpose, is just beyond anything reasonable, so I won't bother answering to that, because i hope everyone can that's just a bunch of bs and makes zero sense.
