It doesn't matter what a Rabbi in NY thinks.
But civilians in Gaza, like civilians in Japan during WWII, civilians in Germany in WWII, and civilians in the South in the Civil War, etc. pay a price for supporting a govt. that is fighting a war and eventually if the war comes to their homeland there will be civilian deaths.
Hamas was elected by the civilians in Gaza. They are building tunnels in Gaza communities. They are fortifying Gaza communities and firing rockets throughout these communities.
These civilians are responsible for a certain extent for letting this happen just as Japanese civilians, and German civilians were in WWII.
It is unfortunate, but its a fact of life.
I follow you, but do you also believe Israeli civilians are fair game in this war? What about American civilians whenever we're at war with another country? Does your rationale apply to the civilians of all nations that are at war?

Of course civilians of any warring nation are at risk of being casualties of war. What a silly question.

What's the rationale that Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda et al use in their attack on civilians?

What do you mean by "fair game"?
If you man is it OK to kill civilians in order to win a war for survival, I think it's been proven time and time again that nations will do whatever it takes to win the war and to survive.
Now if an infantryman shoots targets a civilian just to kill, that's one thing; but it's another thing to target the enemy or the enemy's infrastructure and kill civilians as collateral damage.
But there are no absolutes.
