You present it as a binary choice of Israel just passively accepting rockets or turning Gaza into a crater. There is a middle ground, but Israelis place very little value on Palestinian life, which is why military actions against Palestinians by Israelis is usually excessively harsh and bloody. Especially with regards to civilians.
