Whoa...first question, how many of these dead "civilians" died with guns or bombs in their hands OK, so you are disputing that even equal numbers of innocent Palestinian civilians are dying by co-lateral damage during legitimate attacks on guilty parties? I am not interested in the actual ratio, whether it's 1:1 or 5:1, or even 15:1. It should be 0.9:1 Palestinian:Israeli innocent civilians by the math in the previous link (give or take a rocket attack or two). On military matters, of course, it's beneficial for the kill ratio to be the complete reverse. Then the desirable ratio is infinity. Non of your losses verses loads of enemy dead. In one case it's a civilian conflict "police action". In the second case it's all out war. If it's all out war Israel is after, they can only fool the greater Arab world part of the time imho.
