Correct but if Hamas gave up its arms nothing would happen.
Someone said on an earlier thread Palestinians fight with sticks and stones. Complete bullshit.
If you remember this all started with the death of three Israeli kids at the hands of Palestinians.

Yes, lets call a spade a spade.
Iron Dome = very effective missile defense system.
Missile and bomb attacks on Palestinian civilians in their homes, schools, mosques, on their streets and on the beach = calculated military aggression (aka murder) for political ends.
And it didn't all start with the murder of those 3 Israeli youths - or any of the other (mainly Palestinian) youths who have been murdered over the past months and years. It started long before, or at least this phase of the conflict started when Israel reacted to and tried to break the Fatah-Hamas unity agreement in Gaza City in April.
The more Israel bombs, invades, kills, and tightens its stranglehold on Gaza (causing untold misery) the more Hamas will gain support - not for religious reasons, but because it will be seen as the only way of resisting.
There has to be a political settlement, and after decades of death, recrimination, anger and fear that will take even more time and be very difficult - made worse because so many of the players have agendas (Israel, USA, Egypt, maybe Iran) that are served by the conflict continuing.

They have some of the best defence systems in the world, Hamas' weaponry barely gets through it a lot of the time. I like how people always say Israel are the victims because they are the ones being bombed, look at the past 50 years, Palestinians have been treated like shit and they will continue to be as well while the world turns a blind eye.

Before they could give back the rest of Gaza they started seeing rockets coming further into Israel because of Hamas moving their operations to the land they were given.
Israel then put the second part of the deal on hold because Hamas did not honor the deal that was agreed between Israel and PLO.
The war gets imo presented as a one sided attack. What most dont write a shit about is that Israel got anti rocket systems that disables 90% of the rockets that will hit Israelian settlements. The Paletines got no defence.
Does that mean that Israel cant defend themselfes?
Hamas get no sympathy from me. They cant afford to keep schools and hospitals up to date but they can afford to send 9000 rockets into Israel. Hamas is so wrong and dont help the Palestines case at all with their priorities.
There is only one way they can win, that is by investing in their people. Education, health and go the diplomatic way and leave Israel alone.
I hope for the best for the Palestine people who dont deserve to be used as rocket shields for Hamas.

"In May, two Palestinian teenagers were shot dead by the Israeli army with barely a flicker of interest outside the country."
More than 2 sides to every story but the mainstream news feeds us only one. so biased towards israel.
Treat people like shit then shit is what you'll get back

Three Israeli boys were killed, but no-one took responsibility and no proof of the perpetrators was ever found.

Both sides are ridiculous. These numbers show that Hamas cannot win - Israel have all the weaponry. However, what good does Israel think is going to come from bombing Palestinians to this degree? Remember how we were told how Bloody Sunday sent hundreds of Catholics into the arms of the PIRA? Imagine that about 20 times over.
Israel really does need to accept that Palestine territories have been pushed so far back and their people are now so oppressed that they feel they have nothing to lose. Israel's over-aggressive stance is an absurd strategy in the long run. To get both sides back to the negotiating table, both sides must feel they have something to negotiate with.
