      Those soldiers went in after the bombings. You’re inaccurately implying that they should have gone in without air support, which would have caused massive casualties to their side.

          In war, yes, it should be unsurprising that one’s own forces are considered more important to protect than enemy forces, or civilians from a hostile nation.

              I edited my comment to be more clear and concise, but you replied too soon, I had a feeling you’d interpret that phrase in the least charitable way possible.

              Civilians from a hostile nation is more accurate, although widespread public support of intifada doesn’t mean you’re entirely wrong. Despite this, israel is still choosing military targets, unlike their opponent.
