Hamas was elected by the citizens of Gaza so they are just as responsible It doesn't follow. First, not everyone voted for Hamas, second, justice in war distnguishes between combatants and non-combatants regardless of their political views.

There is no reason for Israel to sacrifice one Jewish life for the lives of all of the Gaza Strip. We didn't do it in WWII and they shouldn't have to do it now.

And Israel has made realistic efforts to do so, including calling the homes ahead of time. To demand perfection is to relegate war to a theoretical exercise.
