I'm pretty sure Israel really doesn't care.

Israel deserves criticism for indiscriminately bombing the general location where terrorists live, and accepting that civilian casualties are part of the deal, but then people continue to criticize a sophisticated and precision attack against the enemy combatants with an absolute minimum of civilian casualties. Seems like people think Israel has no right to defend itself at all, and makes you wonder if it's just good old fashioned anti semitism.

Anybody...?

More finger wagging or asking them to investigate themselves

Does launching rockets at Israel violate international law?

Did the kids killed by rockets in a soccer field pose an imminent lethal threat?
