When presented with photos of injured civilians, it is difficult to explain the real significance of the number of Palestinian casualties – after a month of fighting in one of the most densely populated regions in the world, when the enemy exploits civilian areas to shoot over 3,500 rockets at Israel and the IDF carries out approximately 5,000 attacks against Hamas targets, the deaths of 1,800 Palestinians (at least half of whom were known terrorists) does not indicate a lack of proportionality, as many people believe, despite the regret over any loss of innocent life. On the contrary, the number of Palestinian casualties actually reflects Israel’s selectivity and restraint. The fact that the number of Palestinian casualties over the past month of fighting under the above-described conditions is approximately the number of casualties in one day of fighting in the Syrian civil war or Iraq reveals the hypocrisy and double standards of the civilized western world. While Israel wages another round in the ongoing existential war in Gaza, against a terrorist organization supported by hundreds of millions of Islamic fundamentalists who seek its destruction, the civilized world has no problem criticizing and railing against Israel in the United Nations and other international organizations while ignoring the crimes against humanity being committed by Israel’s fundamentalist enemies every other day.... blog.thecst.org.uk/?p=5021
