Do you expect us to be shocked by 4-1 casualty ratio between pals and israelis? Hell, a country as militarily advanced as israel would normally have a 10-1 advantage. That was the ratio in Vietnam for example. Thus Israel has saved 6000 palestiian lives by being as careful as they have been.

I notice your list omits suicide bombers and Pals dead from suicide bombing. Not so small a number.

<Pal factions have been shooting unaimable Kassam fireworks at Israel in an attempt to provoke an overreaction. Israel responds with state of the art, VERY accurate, US provided ordinance. 13 dead from Kassam rockets in three years.> You know this..the Pal's know it..... Everybody knows this. Then why in the heck do they fire at Israel ? Because they want their people to become Martyrs. Why ? Maybe to elicit the response {stop returning fire on the poor and helpless Pal's}you are providing ?
