I'm incredibly sympathetic to the Palestinian plight but even I can admit Israel have the right to retaliate for these recent attacks.

Your other point would be fine if it weren't for the fact there are people within Hamas who have gone on record as saying they wont accept anything other than the complete destruction of Israel.

You're way off beat anyway. The primary motivation for these recent attacks is to derail the ongoing Israel and Saudi Arabia talks.

Ok, but do you see how derailing the Israel and Saudi talks still works within the confines of an insurgent campaign? Destabilizing your opponent politically is absolutely a viable goal for insurgency. It's one of the ways you can win, so he's not off base in the way you are claiming.
