Israel responds "indiscriminately" to the attacks? Really?
Israel targets specific sites using high tech weapons and seems to do everything possible to limit civilian casualties. Hamas on the other hand seems to do everything they can to maximize civilian casualties (among their own people) by locating ammo storage dumps in mosques and firing at Israel from locations right in the middle of large concentrations of civilians - because they know that collateral damage will be breathlessly reported by NPR, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc,ect,etc.
If you want to call Israel's response "indiscriminate" I'd be curious how you would describe the action of launching unguided missiles at towns and cities in Israel? IIRC Hamas has now fired over 3,000 rockets into Israel (and killed 30 civilians) BEFORE Israel chose to respond.
