Well, as usual, you only tell half the story; and half of it is wrong.
(COMMENT)And that makes it OK to bomb the crap out of civilians in Gaza?What boycott? Google Chairman: Israeli tech second only to Silicon Valley
Google chief says Israeli tech second only to Silicon Valley
Is deflection all you have?
The assumption you are pushing is that the Gaza Strip Civilian Casualties are purely the fault of the Israelis. Of course that would be wrong. The casualties would not be under fire if the Gaza Strip Leaders did what they were suppose to do:
RULES: Customary IHL
Each party to the conflict must give effective advance warning of attacks which may affect the civilian population, unless circumstances do not permit. The Israelis do this when the situation permits; for the purpose of efforts to minimize civilian casualties. The IDF:
- 23. Location of Military Objectives outside Densely Populated Areas
- 24. Removal of Civilians and Civilian Objects from the Vicinity of Military Objective
- 97. Prohibited Human Shields
Pursuant to Rule #20
Pursuant to Rule #21 and Rule #14
- Makes Phone Calls and Text Messages
- Dropped Leaflets
- Roof-Knocking with a loud non-lethal devise on the roofs.
• When a choice is possible between several military objectives for obtaining a similar military advantage, the objective to be selected must be that the attack on which may be expected to cause the least danger to civilian lives and to civilian objects.
• When there is no clear path to minimize civilian casualties, the aerial strike or artillery bombardment is aborted.
When the IDF executes these rules, it is expected that the Arab Palestinian remove Civilians and Civilian Objects from the Vicinity of Military Objective or move legitimate Military Targets from the out and away from densely populated areas. When the Arab Palestinian intentionally and continually locate otherwise legitimate military targets in the vicinity of Civilian Objects, they are attempting to avoid Israeli Targeting. "Under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, “utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations” constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts (RULE 97).
"EXCERPTS ICRC REVIEW 10-12-2012" said:"Among the rules that the parties to an armed conflict must respect when conducting hostilities, there is the prohibition of direct attacks against civilians and of indiscriminate attacks; the obligation to respect the principle of proportionality in attacks; and the obligation to take all feasible precautions so as to avoid as far as possible civilian casualties."
As is recalled in Article 3 common to the Geneva Conventions, the mere fact that an armed group – be it labelled "criminal," "freedom fighters," "terrorist" or otherwise – is party to an armed conflict does not give it any particular status under IHL. It does, however, create legal obligations for the armed group, as for any party to an armed conflict – in particular, the obligation to ensure that its members respect IHL at all times.
But the application of IHL does not affect the sovereignty of a State or a government's right to suppress rebellion through armed force and to prosecute insurgents under its own laws.

In many conflicts, especially in an unconventional and asymmetric landscape, there is going to be one side that is more proficient at some critical component of the conflict.
Both sides are attempting to break the others will to fight; bringing a halt to the conflict.
The Strategic Corporal: Leadership in the Three Block War
The widespread availability of sophisticated weapons and equipment will "level the playing field" and negate our traditional technological superiority. The lines separating the levels of war and distinguishing combatant from "non-combatant," will blur, and adversaries, confounded by our "conventional" superiority, will resort to asymmetrical means to redress the imbalance.
Israel is attempting to achieve that goal by several means:As these programs become ever increasingly more effective, the great the likelihood that the insurgents will use densely populated areas and operate as close as possible to IHL protected people and facilities. This is not new. It has been ongoing since the occupation of the territories. Initially, the occupation was lenient and flexible. But as the Jihad and Hostile Arab Palestinians took tactical advantage of those opportunities to mount terrorist operations against Israel (people and sovereignty), the more the Israelis had to gradually install ever greater, more intrusive and more effective security programs.
- Superior Firepower;
- Effective Control and Quarantine Countermeasures over the threats, and the most probably areas that harbor threats;
- The application of sensory and behavioral analysis technologies to support enhanced perception of intent of insurgents;
- The application of enhanced Human Intelligence assets capable of acquiring proximity to the insurgents;
- Deny the insurgency the local support necessary to maintain their cover and concealment;
- Reducing the availability of Materials necessary to construct weapons;
- Reduce the potential for infiltration of SALWs;
- The establishment and maintenance of the security countermeasures in place;
- Erecting an effective Border Screening program to identify and apprehend hostile Arab Palestinians;
- Establishing a fast response to insurgent hostile activity.
It should be remembered that most of the security apparatus and barriers that the Arab Palestinians complain about, went in after the turn into the 21st Century. For the first half century, the security measures in the West Bank were much less restrictive. What we see today is a direct consequence of the hostile and Jihadist behaviors over the period.

Mennonite Math Teacher Sues Kansas For Not Hiring Her Because She Boycotts Israel
The ACLU case is the first major legal challenge to laws aimed at halting the boycott, sanctions and divestment movement.
Esther Koontz made it to the final stages of the hiring process and had signed up to lead several trainings when the Kansas State Department of Education told her she could not get paid if she didn’t sign the anti-boycott document. The American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing Koontz, claims the state requirement that contractors not participate in boycotts of Israel violates her right to free speech and equal protection,
As these laws pop up across the country, BDS has become an increasingly divisive issue. Supporters say it is a nonviolent way to oppose Israel’s decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories; critics say it is an anti-Semitic attempt to delegitimize Israel. The ACLU, which has long spoken out against anti-BDS legislation, argues that the measure passed in Kansas punishes individuals “based on their protected political beliefs and associations.”
