there were those with a whole lot of weapons that would wipe out israel if they could. we don't think a defense should be a green light to wage war on gaza or palestine generally. we have been able to use leverage to get israel to dramatically increase the pace of humanitarian aid into gaza and to scale back some of the military operations but it has taken too long and we are not satisfied yet with the degree to which israel is balancing necessary self-defense with protecting innocent civilian life in gaza and on the west banks. we have to do more on that, the administration has shown in the last month that they are more forward leaning on that and when they are, israel responds. israel hasn't responded to private encouragement but when the administration gets public and we push publicly we are tending to see more success.
