Again Len, whether you follow the just war theory or not the aim of war is to win. Israel had a specific goals in Gaza. One was to end the threat, the other, as in any war is to minimize losses on your side. Did Israel overreach? I have no idea, I wasn't there - perhaps the causalities were actually less than they could have been considering the goals.
Have you forgotten that the State of Israel just suddenly waltzed in with tanks and drove out the Palestinian people from Gaza, just because it felt it had to expand its lebensraum? They were not ceding anything significant here, Sharon just stopped the insane crusade the Lipkin government had was heading towards driving out the Palestinians by force of gun if necessary.
Unfortunately it seems like Israel is heading back towards that mentality.
What's propaganda about it. Is The State of Israel, or isn't it, heading towards the eradication of the Palestinian people? If it did that, you can either call it genocide, or something less than the truth.
