    It also has to be noted that a huge element behind low Israeli casualties is the Iron Dome.

    If you plotted a chart of attempted civilian deaths, you’d get a very very different picture. Personally, I’m not meaningfully less upset at someone who tries to murder me just because they don’t succeed.

      Iron dome didn’t come online until 2011 so you can see pre-iron dome on the chart, 2008-2011 and it’s not much different. If you do go out even further like another person posted you’ll see that comparatively high Palestinian deaths characterize this conflict. Before Hamas, before the iron dome Palestiniana have been the overwhelming victims of this conflict.

        It’s a group of people with leftover/smuggled weapons from other anti-Israel interests vs easily the most organized military in the region.
