Sure Hamas changed the rules first by using its own civilians as human shields

What has Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Travers Harris, 1st Baronet, GCB, OBE, AFC (13 April 1892 – 5 April 1984), commonly known as "Bomber" Harris got to do with this topic?

Harris carried out carpet bombing (terror bombing) to specifically target civilians, some accuse the Israelis of also deliberately targeting civilians, including the subject OP. Churchill noted carpet bombing did not break the will of the German people, which was the intent, presumably the same applies to the Israelis.

Do you have a link to the OP. There is nothing there to get context. A link that is not behind a paywall needed.

Have tried some links, none worked on this platform. Type the OP title into your browser, should be OK

So for one month only then the rules were tightened again. Where does it say they were deliberately targeting civilians as you claim?

Rules of engagement permitted killing 20 civilians for one Hamas member, I call that deliberately killing civilians, probably would also be defined a War Crime.

What you call deliberate and what IHL International law states are 2 very different realities. You really shouldn't make false claims. 

[Tropicalevo]

Come on Israel, stop pussyfooting around. Do WHATEVER it takes.

Remember - Hamas (Palestinians the last time that I looked) are fighting in order to destroy Israel.

Israel are fighting to recover hostages and avoid destruction.

 

There is only one 'baddie' in this conflict and it is not Israel.

Israel did not put supposedly 'innocent' people on top of, or in front of the terrorists.

These innocent people are the ones who put Hamas in power.

 I wonder why

Just killing people never works. It only makes the survivors angry and take revenge. If terror worked, the Irish would not have resisted the English for hundreds of years.
