Ridiculous. It's unthinkable a modern democratic nation would subject its citizens to rape, beheading, and torture to justify military action.

Why is it unthinkable? There are lots of examples of governments using false flag operations to begin wars.

None of those are in anyway equivalent (and some are also a real stretch to call false flags) to what OP is implying was allowed to deliberately happen to Israeli civilians.
I know they aren't equivalent, I just think they show that actions that most people would consider unthinkable (the state lying to justify a war) are in fact relatively common. Israel sacrificing the few for the many is only unthinkable if you think states are generally just and care about their citizens.
