The math makes more sense when you remember that they don't view Palestinians as people. In addition, they consider the goal of taking away Hamas' political leverage in negotiations as more important than the lives of their own soldiers and civilians.
This. The important thing is they view the very existence of Palestinians in Israel as a threat to the settler colonial project. They saw South Africa, Rhodesia, Namibia, Mozambique, etc etc etc they won’t allow the “mistakes” to repeat. Sooner or later they want all of them forced out or dead…
Israel is a lot more fragile than they let on.
