the legitimate purpose of the fully justified military operation launched by israel after the barbaric terrorist attack by hamas was to permanently remove hamas from power. virtually any response by israel would have been justified. the complete annihilation of gaza was not even yet a proportionate response to a massacre that far outside of the boundaries of civilization. 

hamas had to be removed from the planet in response. anything less would have been insufficient.

the removal of hamas from power is the definition of victory. the rest of it is mostly trivial. 

israel suspended the rule of law in response to these attacks, and it was justified in doing so, but this must come to an end. normal governance must return to israel asap.

it's over.

it's the best outcome possible.
