it's not eye for an eye, it's how much collateral damage you accept for the absolutely morally rightful attempt to combat terrorists which already achieved X. The bigger the X the more collateral damage normal people would accept.
Think it this way, if hamas had managed to use a nuclear bomb (say stolen from Israel itself) on Tel Aviv, people wouldn't consider 15-20k civilians dead as collateral damage in the attempt to eradicate hamas a large number.
Fact is, Hamas being able to "only" kill 1200 on 10 7 shouldn't matter in the slightest. Attempts to eradicate it in full are completly reasonable from the day they fired the first rocket against Israeli civilians.
And anyone who doesn't have as the first priority above all in the region the complete eradication of all anti-Israel terror is part of the problem not of the solution
