This kind of barbarity is straight from the 1940's.

Agreed.

But if Israel responds in-kind, or similarly, then they will be perceived as no better. If they start slaughtering civilians, they may become a pariah state, and any goodwill for them from this attack will evaporate. If they restrict it to Hamas only...well...after 20 years of waiting the Taliban is back in control on their country. I would expect similar with Hamas.

They are sort of damned if they do, damned if they don't. They need global goodwill to continue this conflict. Which, so far, Hamas has enabled.

If they could prove the weapons came from Iran, they might be able to use that, also. (I'm assuming they came from Iran.)
