I get you’re not arguing in good faith here but here goes.

I resent that characterization, just because you don't like what I have to say doesn't mean I'm not arguing in good faith.

he Hamas attacks on Israeli citizens are inexcusable, but they did not and do not excuse the indiscriminate bombing

According to Israel the bombings are not indiscriminate, they target valid military objectives.

One that I might add has a population that is on average 14. ... Is doing nothing a good option? No. Is killing thousands and forcing the rest into the fucking sea the correct response? Fuck no.

No one is being driven into the sea. It seems like you're implying that the consequences of Gazans having lots of children then provoking war against a superior force should be to bind Israel's hands regarding how they can respond, denying them access to common military tactics that minimize their own losses. You've ruled out doing nothing and airstrikes. The only viable option I can see that remains: the IDF should now have to sacrifice lots of soldiers and hand Hamas a victory by going in without air support, because Gazan forces are hiding among Gazan children. That's a tremendously bad move in terms of military strategy.
