The majority certainly seem to be.
"Hamas said 180 of its members were killed and the rest included civilians, among them 16 women and some children."

That's assuming that Hamas is being 100 percent truthful.

Well, that's a number.  If they say Israel killed 180 of their militants, then I must concede the attacks were pretty effective, despite the collateral.

well it did for the moment at least....

"Hamas' ability to fire rockets had been reduced by 50 percent. Indeed, Hamas rockets fire dropped off sharply, from more than 130 on Saturday to just over 20 on Sunday."

This, and the word "excuse" comes to mind.

This is all just the same bullshit and noise that's been coming from Israel and the Palestinians for years.

There is not going to be a significant change in the Israel/Palestine situation until there is a fundamental shift in who's-who/what's-what in that area.

Call me when this sideshow starts playing in Saudi Arabia.  Then we know things are going to start getting serious.

There is anger, but the missile attacks were cold calculation.

When even the typically anti-Zionist people such as CamPoe/Serge admit that Israel responded appropriately and have been pretty effective in doing so, you know people like .Sup are just shooting blanks when it comes to arguing here.

Op'ed
The Red Cross complained that Israel had slowed transit of their aid and medical supplies during an interview with the BBC. Their spokesperson claims that the IDF allowed as much through the Kerem Shalom crossing as the Red Cross requested, and would have allowed more if the Red Cross had asked for more. The IDF obviously has a heightened sense of media play and wants to head off any suggestion that they are attacking Gazans in general rather than Hamas specifically. The videos are intended to underscore that message.

Israel sends humanitarian aid to Gaza 28.12

Perhaps they shouldn’t have worried. The BBC report seems balanced, noting prominently Israel’s stated objectives against Hamas and taking care to differentiate the targets of Israel’s air raids:

    Israeli air raids have pounded the Gaza Strip for a third day, hitting key sites linked to militant group Hamas.

    Gaza’s interior ministry and Islamic University were the latest targets.

    Hamas says 312 Palestinians have died since Saturday, of which the UN says 57 were civilians. In Israel, a second person was killed by a militant rocket.

    Defence Minister Ehud Barak said Israel was not fighting the people of Gaza but was in “a war to the bitter end” with Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007.

The BBC also reported on Israel’s call-up of reservists without hysteria, noting that the 6500 mobilized would not be enough to reoccupy Gaza. So far, the IDF seems to have something it rarely receives: a decent shake from the global media.

It would appear that Israel has used the lull in activity to refine their intelligence, allowing for lower collateral damage than in past engagements. Yet still the world is decrying Israel's response to Hamas' blatant flaunting of a ceasefire that Israel adhered to.

The ONLY legitimate argument against Israeli action at this point is proportionality.
