I find no fault in Israel's "knee-jerk reaction". Hamas, being the elected government of the Palestinian people, must be held accountable when it's militants tunnel into Israel, kill 2 soldiers and kidnap another. Or maybe they could consider the halting of daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions. Both actions equate to an act of war. And you are right it is calculated; why does that matter? You have a terrorist organization elected into public office, and they refuse to abandon their terrorist operations and aspirations. With the elections in Palestine, Hamas and the Palestinian people at large were put in the driver seat of the car, by themselves, the UN, the US, the World at large, they need to stop making excuses and buck up, they have nobody to blame but themselves.
