In any case, the death of the kids was tragic, but oh well, they chose to live near Hamas, so what can you do?

That's a totally misleading statement bordering on an outright lie, those kids did not choose to live near Hamas, Hamas choose to set up their rockets among those kids and use them as shields without any regard to those kid's lives, and to top it off, now Hamas can use the tragic deaths of these children, whom they are responsible for their deaths, as a propaganda tool to hammer Israel.

It really is quite that brutally simple.
