I hear a fair bit about this disproportionate response, but one thing that always seems to stump people that claim that Israels response was disproportionate, is the question: So what is a proportionate response? Should Israel just randomly fire some rockets at Gaza until they have achieved enough damage, terror and indiscriminate murder till 4 Palestinians are dead? Does an accidental 5th dead Palestinian then mean that Hamas gets to retaliate proportionately?

Tell you what, next time you get critically ill or injured, we should just let you die a natural death so that a new smarter and more capable person can take your place. I say let it happen naturally, End of story.
