Plus there's also the fact it's blocked in by closed borders and Israel still have their naval blockade in place, its incredibly difficult for anyone to leave even if they wanted to. The two 'sides' shouldn't even be compared or equated really considering how grossly imbalanced the conflict is, and considering that Gazans have been treated like sh*t by Israel for years and years. Hamas may be a monster but its one that Israel created.

how can you blame israel then when they try to strike the terrorists and there are civilian deaths. when you yourself just said that gaza is so densely populated? so they have no right to strike back just because hamas hides in densely populated areas? so what do you expect them to do to respond then? these people are uneducated murderous religious psychos. they must be delt with.
