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.
