Dont see a problem with arresting members of an internationally recognised terror group.
Except that most of the people that were arrested were innocent, and the other part that were released, were leased following a deal that WAS NOT HONOROD by Israel but again you are derailing from the fact the point you claimed that Hamas started the hostilities, where did that go?
Self defence=retaliating against the rocket fire on Israel coming out of Gaza.
Source for that 1 children per hour?
Anyway children die in war.
I dont know what kind of a genocider gives warning to civilians before bombing terror sites,gives free electricity,medicine and other supplies for the victim. Also the growing Palestinian population shows this is not a genocide. If Israel wanted to genocide the Palestinians,they would have already done it long ago.
Thats your own definition on self definition here is the definition of self defense according to prominent dictionaries, and in the law :
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/self-defensehttp://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/self-defencehttp://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/self-defensehttp://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1909http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/self-defense.htmlUse of reasonable force (as compared with the attacker's force) in protection of one's person, family, property, or anyone else against attempted or threatened attack. Legal doctrine of self defense justifies a preemptive action taken in the reasonable belief of immediate danger, without making any retreat, and may (specially in case of provocation) condone killing of the perpetrator of a murderous attack.
Except that as proven above it was Israel that attacked first, so this whole argument is totally false as and by your logic here it's Hamas that is on self defense here (Hamas in my eyes is a terrorist group as they targeting indiscriminately Israeli civilians but Israel is even worse by this same definition)
As for Israel warning civilians please lol, the so called warning bombs killed over 30 Palestinians, there thousands of strikes that were made without warning, you seems to avoid the part when I site the example of the 8 years old children that were playing in the beach, or just today the UN Shelter that was blown to dust resulting in the death of 30-40 Palestinians and hundreds of injuries (this is a crime war btw according to UN rules)
This is a genocide, look up the recent genocides listed according to the UN, and you'll see that what's happening in Gaza is similar to those in terms of numbers and events
When you investigate a murder,you're gonna arrest some people,especially in a hostile territory where every citizen can be a murder suspect due to their extreme hate of Jews&Israel
The question "who started" will take you nowhere and can go back to 1948. i can say Hamas started by suicide attacking Israelis in 2002.
Israel can't make warning for every attack,the target can escape.
I didn't say Israel is always 100% right,but people,including innocents die during war.
That UN school might have hosted hamas rockets,who knows? they found Hamas rockets in UNRWA schools twice,therfore making it a valid target

Do you even read what I'm saying or just posting blindly again the same thing, You are repeating the same things that were answered point by point, read again please and can you please answer what was mentioned on point as for the origins of the conflicts, it's 1948 the problems started at the end of the 19 century with the birth of Zionism and it became serious after WWI but that's not the point you are just dodging the point where you claimed that this event is Hamas fault, which was proven wrong
a genocide is listed after it's over, not while it's happening, also the US is blocking anything that would condemn this as a Genocide officially check out the the list of UN resolutions against Israel that Vetoed and were Vetoed by who, as for the definitions, like I said before, what's happening in Palestine falls into that definition, and the most recent genocides listed are on pare of what happening in Palestine right now, in terms of numbers and the way it's happening
