Watch the film, but the long and the short of is that if Hamas didn't fire any rockets during the ceasefire then the inescapable conclusion is that Israel violated the ceasefire and that this is not the defensive action of a threatened nation but something altogether different.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'm starting to see shadows of the Georgia/South Ossetia war in this, at least insofar as the hoodwinking of the West is concerned. I wonder to what extent Israel planned this action given its apparent lack of provocation.

This film admits that rockets were fired against Israel from Gaza during this time, even if they could not be proven to have been launched by Hamas. The act of building a tunnel - for any reason, let alone to try and kidnap an Israeli soldier - that violated the borders was itself an aggressive act and hence a violation of the ceasefire. Plans for such attacks (kidnapping Israeli soldiers) were carried out during the truce (link).

How many shells does it take to constitute provocation?

How many planned attacks should be carried out before the intended victims strike back? Or should they not be permitted to defend themselves?

The statement that there was a lack of provocation is laughably false.
