    If you were to take a guess at the ratio of Palestine civilians to Israeli civilians that have been killed in the last 50 years. What would it be?

      I would guess that Palestinian civilian death counts are significantly higher, as most of the fighting has been done within occupied Palestinian territories, civilian uprisings happen against the IDF often there, Israel can bomb targets in Palestine freely causing collateral damage while they are protected by the Iron Dome, Hamas and other such groups are fighting a guerilla war by hiding among civilians, and you wouldn’t have brought it up were it not a huge ratio. 9:1?

      With all the civilians they intentionally murdered the ratio is certainly moving in their favor now.

      An eye for an eye, leaving the world blind.

        The only reason why I mentioned is of what seemed to be a disconnect from reality. Either that, or I just misunderstood.

        Funny how in this conflict one side is expected to adhere to international law while the other side totally ignores it, intentionally attacks civilians, takes hostages, launches missiles indiscriminately at civilian centers, etc., If Israel adopted the tactics Palestine is willing to employ there would be no Palestine.

        “if Israel adopted the tactics Palestine is willing to employ, there would be no Palestine”. How to you reconcile that kind of statement, when the ratio of dead children is 20:1?

        “the other side totally ignores it, intentionally attacks civilians, takes hostages, launches missiles indiscriminately at civilian centers”

        This here perfectly describes what Israel has been doing for 50 years, at a 20:1 ratio. So… if you were suggesting that this was what Palestine [sic] is to blame for… Is it?
