Israel is obviously in a tough position. If she were to respond to an attack with overwhelming force, the worlds public opinion would turn against her. And that is not something that can simply be ignored.
The really sick thing is that when the Islamists commit an outrage (like firing rockets into a civilian area), no one gets particularly upset.
It already is against them. Just do what needs to be done.
