Even your OWN narrow version of events has Israel killing hundreds, displaced tens of THOUSANDS of NON-COMBATANTS in response to rockets that mostly did some property damage.

I don't have a "version of events." Y'all really need to stop discussing arguments as if they can only be evaluated by understanding the political beliefs of the person making the argument. If I say that Hamas violated the ceasefire in response to a claim that Israel did the same, that's not an endorsement or rejection of either side. It's just an attempt to set a level playing field for the discussion. I generally agree with saxi's opinion on who are in the right on this conflict. However, the arguments saxi makes in favor of why Israel is bad are so logically inconsistent, and so extremely partisan and one-sided, that I can't condone it silently. If Israel is as bad as he says it is, he shouldn't need to engage in poor argumentative tactics to prove it.

On May 13, 1985, a bomb was dropped on a row house in Philadelphia, unleashing a relentless fire that eventually burned down 61 houses, killed 11 people (including five children) and injured dozens.
The fire department stood by idly. The Philadelphia Police Department did the same. The fire raged on, swallowing up home after home until more than 200 were without shelter in an entire community distrustful of the individuals responsible for the blaze.
The police.
- The MOVE Organization is a Philadelphia-based black liberation group that preached revolution and advocated a return to nature lifestyle. They lived communally and vowed to lead a life uninterrupted by the government, police or technology. They were passionate supporters of animal rights and members adopted vegan diets. Members also adopted the surname “Africa.” Often times they would engage in public demonstrations related to issues they deemed important.
Though Americans commonly believe law enforcement’s role in society is to protect them and ensure peace and stability within the community, the sad reality is that police departments are often more focused on enforcing laws, making arrests and issuing citations. As a result of this as well as an increase in militarized policing techniques, Americans are eight times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist, estimates a Washington’s Blog report based on official statistical data.
Though the U.S. government does not have a database collecting information about the total number of police involved shootings each year, it’s estimated that between 500 and 1,000 Americans are killed by police officers each year. Since 9/11, about 5,000 Americans have been killed by U.S. police officers, which is almost equivalent to the number of U.S. soldiers who have been killed in the line of duty in Iraq.

A lie is not a level playing field.
A Bible prophecy website claimed Hamas violated the ceasefire. That is a lie. A ceasefire has to be agreed-upon by both belligerents, not simply declared by someone. Hamas had been excluded from the ceasefire negotiations, which is patently crazy if you're genuinely interested in a ceasefire as opposed to a PR talking point. Hamas had, however, proposed - not a 5 hour ceasefire, but a 10 year truce! The conditions for the truce included things like letting Gazans fish so they don't have to starve to death, allowing the resumption of food imports to Gaza so they don't have to start to death, and release of Palestinians held indefinitely without charge. Mordor rejected the offer of a truce, at which point the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades resumed self-defense operations of a military necessity.
Hamas'sarmed wing, the Kassam Brigades, rejected the reported text of the truce deal, saying: "Our battle with the enemy continues and will increase in ferocity and intensity."

That's correct I did not read it and I readily admit you are accurate on that point. As a matter of policy I don't read bible prophecy websites, or websites that declare they present news with "a biblical bias", to inform me of current affairs.
However, I apologize if you were offended, as I know the scriptures, magic, and prophecy forms a central part of your worldview, as it does almost all Israel supporters.

Another perfect example of your dishonesty, that image isnt even related to the article you posted. Your attempts to cross references and paint the picture that Israel is supported exclusively by sociopath cult members is false.

The site's "About" page, shown in the image I posted, can be accessed here: http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/about-us
People may now wonder why you made the choice to lie by saying "that image isnt even related to the article you posted"? Did you give up on screaming "ANTI-SEMITE!" as loud as you can to drown-out rational dialog and civil debate?
Gabby, reading your posts is liking watching a fully loaded passenger train headed at full speed down a track toward a bridge that's collapsed.

Nice. You just implied that Palestinians are less than human.
You certainly are worth taking seriously.
Tell us how you feel about black people, Hispanics, and the Roma people.
