The IDF's "trauma" isn't the Holocaust. It's a long history of Palestinian terrorism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attacks_against_Israeli_civilians_before_1967 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attacks_against_Israel... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_suicide_attacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_suicide_at... We could track reprisals against reprisals against reprisals all day long without unraveling anything. But it's dangerously misleading to suggest that this is purely about what happened in the 1940s. Israel has to deal with the fact that this attack has a lot of precedent. There is no fair analysis of Israel's actions which does not take this into account. They have very good reason to think that without the actions you're condemning that attacks like this one would occur every day.
