Israel is a first world country with great military forces, and Gaza is a shanty town ruled by a criminal organization.

Was it really necessary to use the air force? To bomb Gaza?

The whole thing seemed ridiculous and criminal to me. .

Man up and break into Gaza with death squads and elite forces to kill all the people shooting rockets towards Israel, but don't bomb the city.

Air power would likely lead to far fewer civilian casualties than ground forces for many targets.

You don't have to read Siro's posts to find out that artillery and other ordinance used in support of infantry are far less precise weapons with far less considered target selection that air power can be.
