More than the amount of Israeli's killed in the last 15 years.

If anything with Hamas behind the wheel it would be worse - see ISIS in Syria for example.

Would people feel better if the number of deaths on each side were even? So should Israel dismantle their Iron Dome and let some Israeli die? because that is what has prevented Israeli deaths not only in this conflict but since it has been enabled. Should Israel encourage the building of more tunnels by Hamas? These last tunnels exited in the regions where the kibbutzim are. Those are farming regions, where Israel does not keep a military presence. Are people naive enough to think that any tunnel that exits in that type of region in Israel is for importing goods other than arms and weapons?
And do people really believe that all of the 1300 Palestinians killed are civilians? Hamas does not wear military fatigues...they wear civilian clothes and walk among the masses. How come Hamas has not released any figure of their casualties?
