What about all the Israeli civilians killed in rockets lobbed into Israel? What about all the suicide bombings in resorts and clubs? Civilians in Israel are hit with a car bomb. How are they supposed to respond, with another car bomb? What utter stupidity! It is absolutely incredible that Hamas and Hezbollah et al  are justified in using whatever means necessary to get what they want, complete destruction of Isarel , but Israel can not defend it's self against these attacks with any more force than is used against it.
