Predictable? Yes, par for the course for this insanely violent and fascist regime.

Inevitable? It's well documented that the IOF ignored many warnings about the incoming Hamas resistance. Not only that, netanyahu funded Hamas to weaken the Palestinian cause weak and fractured.. Let's start there.

Least bad choice..... It's sickening to me that you suggest there aren't better ways to conduct war than to bomb hospitals, schools, and refugee camps. For a military that's supposedly one of the best in the world to say 7000+ children needed to die is a joke. It's incredibly obvious to any reasonable person.

Which regime are you talking about here? Not clear at all.

It's par for the course for any nation that is attacked to counter-attack.

I'm saying the response was inevitable, not the attack.

The alternative to going in with air support is sending in troops without it into a well prepared terrorist den where they would suffer high casualties. Yes, air strikes are the least bad choice for them. Israel essentially had to choose between the lives of its own people and the lives of people who live in a belligerent nation. That they didn't sacrifice their own for Palestinians, thereby making Israel less safe, should be unsurprising.
