Would you prefer the IDF to simply fire indiscriminately at anything that moves? As counter-terror ops, undertaken by fresh 18 year old recruits goes, 3 out of 4 deaths being military is not bad at all.
How about a comparisson. Russia goes into Chechnya twice, in order to put a stop to Rebel activity, in these two wars spanning 15 years, a million Chechnyans have lost their lives to Russian bullets, when the Chechen `rebels` must have constituted 50 000 fighters, maybe? Probably less. Of course that`s ok, because no-body is trying to catch the Russians out, Chechen deaths don`t matter. But Israel, a country of Jews, who try their best to protect their families whilst not causing too much collateral damage gets the rap. Honestlt, what abbout Chechnya, Sudan, Congo, Tibet, Uganda, Liberia, Kenya, Yemen, the Kurdish areas... |
