      They were talking about this on the last CTH episode, that there’s a baked in mentality with the IDF and the Israeli government that losing a few Israeli citizens every 6-18 months from a minor Hamas attack is a price worth paying to keep the Palestinians in Gaza contained. So it’s not surprising that they’d wantonly fire upon their own people in the name of subjugating Gaza.

      You’d think that conscription would mean that your average soldier is more normal than volunteer armies but the IDF really proves that wrong.
