The idea that the guys in government in Israel care for the lives of a few thousand people is as funny as it gets.

I mean weren't Israelis recently demonstrating because these very same people wanted to destroy the independence of the Judiciary, which is required for it to function as a Pillar of Democracy, so in effect wanted to undermine Democracy and spread autocracy in Israel from a problem only of people with Arab Citizenship to people with Jewish Citizenship (yeah, Israel, uniquelly amongst "democracies" has a concept of citizenship with associated rights which is separate from nationality).

You can't seriously belive such people care for a few thousand lives, no mater their nationality, especially if their deaths can be turned into a way to hold on to power and escape Justice (how's Bibi process going?).
