These numbers do not include the death and suffering caused from the apartheid state the Palestinians are living under. When is this going to enter the larger conversation? |
Firstly, this is not UN data.

And what's the percentage of soldiers to civilians? These numbers include over a 1000 militants that stormed past the Gaza barrier.
And its not equally as "tragic" or "heinous" because the militant groups are targeting the other sides civilians and purposely putting their own civilians at risk.
