No, you intentionally leave things out. There are less Israeli deaths because they build shelters and other defenses to keep their people safe. Hamas shoots from areas with lots of innocent Palestinians effectively using them as human shields. In fact, there have been instances where when Palestinians have tried to stop their homes from being used as a rocket firing site, they were shot. If Hamas had access to more accurate rockets, there would be more injuries, but Israel does their best to deny those weapons.
If Hamas rockets are so ineffective, why do they keep shooting them?
Here is a breakdown of rocket attacks:

*sigh* There you go again accusing people of purposely leaving something out to suit an agenda.
You'll notice my statistics include only two things: The most recent Hamas rocket assault, and "Operation Protective Edge" which began in response to the most recent Hamas rocket assault. I ignored previous Hamas attacks, true, I ALSO ignored previous Israeli offensives.
Please, seek to understand others instead of being instantly accusatory and rude. That's all I ask.
You can say all you'd like that Hamas isn't killing anybody because of how effective Israeli defence is or how ineffective the Hamas attack is, but all that matters is this:
Israel is actively killing civilians, is aware of it, and instead of seeking to avoid it they are increasing the strength of the offensive.
You asked earlier for both sides to be looked at evenly. Why does Israel get to kill civilians without remorse, while we condemn Hamas for the very same? Hamas is a terrorist organization, Israel is a "bastion of right." Why should Israel be allowed to kill civilians without hesitation while you condemn Hamas for the very same?
Why is one innocent life worth more than another?
