"Amongst Israelis, 69% of those killed were civilians and 31% members of the IDF. The number of Israeli civilians killed, from attacks by Palestinian armed groups or individuals, has declined steadily, peaking in 2002 at an average of 22 deaths per month, and dropping markedly to an average of one civilian per month in 2007. 6/
In contrast to Israeli figures, however, Palestinian civilian fatalities have remained high. Palestinian civilians, killed by Israeli security forces, peaked with an average of 35 deaths per month in 2002, and again in 2004. In 2007 they dropped slightly to an average of ten civilian deaths per month."
Both sides kill civilians with abandon, and Israel is markedly better at it. Major media doesn’t seem to care very much about Palestinian civilians though.
Dafuq is this meme? civilians are civilians, regardless of the country religion or whatever the duck they’re born in.
Jesus Christ I had to scroll through like, 10 top level comments to find someone with a measure of reason. I’m actually stunned.

Israel kills more civilians.
Do you somehow not realise that is exactly the point being made?
I completely agree with you. Which is why when you look at the grotesque number of civilians Israel kills every year it’s pretty easy to condem them.
Get off your high horse colonizer
Uh, what?
Israel is the colonizers in this instance and I’m opposing them so???
