The media is using the disproportionate amount of deaths to drum up sympathy for the inhabitants of Gaza. Hamas is gaining popularity with their higher death toll. Civilians are encouraged to stay in their homes even as the Israeli army warns of upcoming attacks. The dead serve their purpose in trying to sway public opinion against Israel.
It keeps being stated as fact that Israel stole the land from the Palestinians, illustrating ignorance and a reliance on propaganda in lieu of facts. The land historically belongs to the Israelis. The ancient kingdoms of Judah and Israel existed as part of the Ottoman Empire long before Muhammed ever molested his first child.
The land was illegally settled with Arab refugees who were then eventually removed from those non-legal dwellings they'd built by British troops. This tiny little area given back to Jews after WWII was attacked the first day it existed by all the neighboring countries controlled by Islamic governments. Israel retaliated and subsequently occupied land that they won during their victory. The leaders of 13 Arab nations refused every proposal for peace, even famously declaring that there would be "no peace with Israel, no negotiations with Israel, no recognition of Israel."
Israel is a powerfull country and it will survive even without US support. They made their own nukes, and possess a large army and large trained civilian population. They can wipe out any of their neighbours with sheer conventional firepower at will. They have strong financial and technology sectors so they don't have to worry about negative opinions from the rest of the world.
Hamas attacked Israel, they have the right to retaliate. Civilians in Gaza democratically elected Hamas as their government, thus they bear the responsibility for the casualties they now endure. Their arrogant stupidity lays in their belief that a third world territory lacking sophisticated weaponry can successfully wage war against a first world military power.
The inhabitants of Gaza have demonstrated their unworthiness to exist—that any still do is a testament to Israel's restraint, patience and desire for peace.
