Massacres in Gaza
It is true that the bombings in Gaza, in addition to targeting militants, also have a deterrent purpose: to show that attacking Israel leads to disaster, and then more disaster, thereby weakening the metaphysical idea that Israel must be destroyed. This is what happened in the Second World War (and I would say in every recent war).
It began with Guernica, continued with the attack on London (the Battle of Britain), and then Germany and Japan were flattened by terrible carpet bombings (as they were called): let us remember the firebombing of Dresden, the 200,000 people killed in Tokyo, not to mention Hiroshima.
At that time, the Allies were not prosecuted for war crimes, but the Nazi ideologies were defeated and disappeared from history (a few rare exceptions prove the rule).
