"The reservists were preparing explosives to demolish two buildings in central Gaza on Monday when a militant fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a tank nearby, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the chief military spokesperson, said. The blast triggered the explosives, causing both two-story buildings to collapse on the soldiers inside."

    Kinda nuts how a big deal is made of 21 guys dying when hundreds dying in a church or mosque being bombed is just met with shrugged shoulders by the establishment.

      yeah certain lives mattering while others are considered cheap & expendable never fails to get me doomer

      most of the time libs will spot "life is cheap in the orient" as appalling and racist but this kind of thing keeps flying. refugees drowning in the mediterranean is another big example in the modern era.

        Let's face it, when westerners say "life is cheap in x place" what they're really saying is "I don't value the lives of people in x place"

        It's all projection
