The reason that there were THAT many Israeli casualties is that Israel has ANNOUNCED were they were going to attack, IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE PALESTINIAN CIVILIAN CASUALTIES. Had they attacked unannounced, the likelihood is that Hamas would not have been able to set up traps head of time, and few Israelis would have been killed- but the PALESTINIAN civilian death toll would have been MUCH higher.

By the way, there were more civilians killed in Syria yesterday that in the last week in Gaza- but you keep strangely quiet about ANY civilian casualties that you cannot (FALSELY) blame on Israel.
