Almost all the the Israeli ruling class is rogue. They always have been. They've been given the right to do as they wish by a being that doesn't exist - but as long as they get away with everything then they have no reason to reconsider their world view. On the other hand, at least sometimes members of the government get investigated and have to go to court.
Well, to be fair, he did mention that Hamas has been firing rockets into Israel on a nearly daily basis and that it has gone on for some time. Hamas is far from innocent here and it's rather obvious the ones calling the shots live in Tehran.
Which "he" are you referring to? The one who ignored the question about the boy killed on the 8th of November - after which Hamas sent 100 rockets? What do you mean by "to be fair"? Hamas and Israel were in truce talks when Israel assassinated the head guy they were negotiating with so now they can say once again they have no-one to negotiate with. What is "fair" about the usual asymmetry with Israel unloading huge amounts of ordinance into hospitals and then saying that it's the Palestinians' fault because the fighters hide in hospitals. That's the same sort of thing they said when they were firing on ambulances in Lebanon. It's the same kind of nonsense that almost killed Jessica Lynch when the Iraqis were trying to return her to American lines in an ambulance (and the Americans fired on the ambulance, turning it back).
This was also Bin Laden's rationale for striking at the people who were instrumental in running the US empire - those who worked at the Pentagon and those who worked in the main financial district.
And, similarly, your argument provides justification for Hamas rockets landing in civilian areas. You are basically saying that it is OK to kill civilians if it helps to win a war. That sort of argument makes it hard to claim a moral high ground. In fact, the argument leads simply to "might is right". The strong can do whatever they want to the weak. If the weak resist, they are evil and must be destroyed.
