So, LL, if you were in Israel's shoes, how would you respond to rocket attacks from the Gaza strip? Keep in mind, there is no organized government that you can negotiate with and expect any agreement to be honored (since many gunmen operate semi-autonomously). Also keep in mind that "Israel started this" is not a legitimate answer, and that Hamas is not seeking peaceful coexistence with Israel, but has repeatedly stated that its ultimate goal is that destruction of Israel.

What if, instead of rockets landing in Israel, they were landing in New York City? Would you call retaliation by the American military that specifically targets rocket launch areas "state sponsored terrorism"?
