Reply #55: You should care. Israel lost 23 soldiers who went house to house in Jenin...

...INTENTIONALLY to avoid civilian casualties (when they could have just as easily attacked from the skies and avoided the losses in personnel). When you don't acknowledge that as part of the story, then it appears all you're interested in doing is demonizing the IDF and Israel.

Now think about this from a pure black and white PR perspective. Let's say Israel's concerned with its image so much it would risk 23 of its soldiers lives. What good did that do? Nothing. So fuck that, Israel won't do it again and will just do their work from the skies and avoid any risk to its soldiers. However, that makes it more dangerous for Palestinian civilians in the future. You should care about that...
