Israeli officials are constantly being asked "how many dead palestinians is too many" in this conflict, and the answer has explicitly been "there is no such thing" way too many times. There is no upper limit on how many people can be killed to further their goals.
The most upsetting(for me) thing is reports of all the kids killed by snipers and just in general, as a father I cannot imagine losing my child to this.
Cognitive dissonance? Those children are just cockroaches to a large portion of the Israeli population
The mistake the west made was not recognizing that some Israelis are just as capable of the same level of savagery as the original Hamas attacks. 'They share the same values as us westerners', they said.... they assassinated their own president!
If you multiply out the number of targets that Lavender generated by the number of acceptable civilian deaths per target, you get a number that is ~40% of all Gazans.
