It just seems crazy to me given the power imbalance. A cynical part of me suspects that things are playing out exactly as some evil strategists hoped they would, which, given all the children dying, is super-depressing.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

That's sorta classic supervillain logic. Doing terrible things just so someone else will have to do them too and in doing so "reveal" that they are "equally" monstrous. Israel has had some super fucked up policy for a long time, and I'm not defending that, but the approach of provoking them by committing your own war crimes knowing that it will lead to this much civilian suffering on all sides is even more fucked up.
