Didn't Palestine commit an officiall act of war by kidnapping an Israeli soldier?
Hamas militants kidnapped the soldier. There has been no evidence presented (of which I am aware) that the Palestinian governing authority had any part in their actions, yet Israel arrested a half dozen Palestinian cabinet and Parliament members.

I may not be aware of all the attacks that Israeli is doing, but the two I saw were blowing a bridge up, and attacking a military target. What else was there?
Israel's first target was the power generating station which supplied electricity for most of Gaza. The station also produced electricity for Palestinian water processing plants and hospitals. Last I heard 750,000 Palestinians are without power in Gaza.

So you think it justifies endangering the lives of the people in the hospitals? It justifies putting the entire population of Gaza at risk for a breakout of cholera? It somehow justifies the bombing deaths of innocent civilians?
Regardless of how wrong the actions of Palestinian militants are, it doesn't excuse Israel's use of military force against a civilian population. It doesn't make Israel's arrest of Palestinian government officials an acceptable response. Two wrongs don't make a right no matter how you rationalize it.
I don't know why you'd think it is "funny".
