Thats wrong. During recent intifada over 750 Israeli civilians were killed.
Secondly as I stated Israel spends billions to protect own civilians: builds shelters, fences, puts security guards in every mall and cafe, alert system againstrockets, missile defence systems etc... Every time i enter mall here I am checked with metal seeker.
On the other hand Palestinians dont spend a cent to protect own civilians. On contrary, in time of Israeli incursion they send kids and guys to streets. Very often kids and civilians are used to bring ammunition, take guns from dead soldiers, requion dead militants, gather inteligence etc... In addition since Palestinians dont have regular forces, many militants are counted as civilians. Thats why over 94% if these 5000 "civilians" are male.
Why you don’t quote and respond to whole post? Why just pick few sentences out of context? So you are saying that all those Palestinians kids and males who got killed because of Israel terrorism were not innocent. You are trying to say that all the children who got killed were deserving this. Could you back up this claim? You are really exposing your empathy here. Do you really feel good after you justify every single act of Israel even if the whole world or U. N oppose that act ?
Israel has survived by American support alone. President Truman gave the state of Israel a nuclear warhead as an inception gift. This had led them(the Israelis) to stir conflict time and time again with their Arab neighbors. Israel causes trouble and runs behind the US
I don’t understand why it is really hard for you to accept that Israel has some responsibilities in the Middle East conflict simply because it's one of the parts involved directly in it and surely it has made political mistakes and violence excesses against Palestinians. There will never be peace for Israel until it is willing to play by the same rules as the rest of the world. That has been at the core of Israel's international problems since the beginning. Israel has had a tendency to say one thing but do another. Certainly the Palestinians have also fought back and done provocations, but they don't exercise the real power. The Palestinians have been pushed around, discriminated against, violated by authorities and denied economic and political freedom, etc.
Israel holds tens of thousands of Palestinians prisoners, many without charges, in violation of International Law. Israel has used torture as a mechanism of state control of Palestinians, in direct contravention of the Geneva Convention and International Law. When Israel decides that it wants to play by the rules of civil society and be a normal part of the world, it should endorse equal rights for all human beings.
