> If I were Israel, I would have not invaded Gaza

During the war Israel was attacked from the territories of Gaza, Lebanon, the west bank, Iraq, Iran, and Yemen. All of these were unprovoked, except maybe Iran. All by parties openly calling for Israel's destruction.

Gaza had invaded Israel, killing 1200 and kidnapping 250.

What do you think the above attackers would do if Israel showed there was effectively no retaliation for doing something like that? You are asking Israel to commit suicide.

> If I were Israel, I would simply stop acting as a fanatic aggressor

Israel was attacked first by each and every party above (except maybe Iran), beginning with the Hamas attack.

> with no regard for human life.

In nearly every bombing in Lebanon, and most bombings in Gaza, Israel preceded the attacks with leaflet, social media posts, and phone calls calling people to leave the area. It has achieved the best civilian-combatant death ratio of any urban war in modern history. How does that show no regard for human life?

Israel has been attacking Palestinians and its neighbors since its inception. They are the aggressors and always have been.

False.
