The first paragraph is devastating.
Meanwhile support for Israel splits over party lines. Republicans by 2-1 favor Israel's actions while less than a third of Democrats do.

I think Israel has shown too much restraint waiting until thousands of rockets have been launched into Israel from Gaza before this very targeted response. For the record, those opposed to military action favor diplomacy. Since Gaza practically has no functioning government and have chosen rocket attacks since the moment Israel pulled out of Gaza, diplomacy is impossible. Further diplomacy only works when backed by the possible use of force. If force is never used and never an option, there is nothing to encourage diplomacy on the other side. It is meaningless. It is like a union who can't strike. The threat of strike keeps the parties at the negotiation table. Meanwhile Israel should not look to the United Nations for support
