The Israel response was to kill over 1000 Palestinians, most of whom are innocents

Not true. Even Hamas acknowledged that 70-80% of the people killed were militants. Probably more, because they intentionally counted women and teenage members of Hamas seperately to skew the statistics.

The fact they have not been reprimanded by the UN for this is a joke.

They have. Repeatedly.

It's a naive response. You know people on the other side will only see one side of it: a powerful military nation bombing civilians to shit. This can have no other result than to perpetuate the violence and hate exponentially.

Most theories were that the goal of the offensive was to force Hamas to the bargaining table for a new ceasefire - remember that it was Hamas who first refused to renew the existing one. New ceasefire would include something about them not importing new weapons and having UN troops on the ground to stop rockets, similar to what happened in Lebanon. Then Israel ended up retreating before that happened, thus forcing me to change my opinion towards that which I've previously stated.
