Reply #61: You should care about the operation being described as a great massacre of innocents...

The intent was the complete opposite, as Israel lost 23 IDF personnel going house to house looking for terrorists.

That's extremely risky and practically unheard of in modern times from western democracies in combat. Instead of taking that into consideration, the demonizers portray it as yet another in a long line of evil acts by the IDF and Israel.

You should worry about that leading the IDF to conclude there's no point risking that many IDF lives again and that it would be safer to carry out military OPs exclusively from the skies where it's safer, like NATO does. That would lead to more Palestinian civilian casualties.

You should care.
