Your point being? If you want to extend the timeframe for deaths, make sure you do it for both rather than just one if you're just comparing death figures, unless you want to start comparing how many years of Israelis deaths you have to look at just to achieve a similar number as the amount of palestinian civilians killed within only a few weeks!

Well--and this is just an aside--you know, Abraham (a man, of course, whom Jews, Christians and Muslims, all three consider their common ancestor) was asked by (the Judeo-Christian) God for a sacrifice; to kill Issac as a test of faith. However, he was stopped, by God Himself, at the last second. How many people (including children younger than Issac was supposed to have been) has Allah asked his people to sacrifice? Just an observation, for what it's worth.
Look at the methods involved, maudlin; the Israelis have a disciplined, well-supplied, state-of-the-art military which, truth be told, mostly seems to prefer surgical strikes over more general attacks, versus a bunch of 10th century savages whose main weapons of choice often seem to be suicide attacks and rocks, thrown by people (including children) thoroughly brainwashed to hate, and to die violently for their bloodstained pagan god. Israel's weapons are much, much more lethal; therefore, they can kill more people! Understand?
In fact, if Israel wanted to imitate the Nazis, and methodically kill every last person in the enemy camp, they likely could. Yet, for 6 decades of unreasoning hate, unrest and mostly unprovoked violence, they've resisted that temptation. What does that level of restraint say for them, as opposed to their lesser enemies?
The Palestinian Jew-haters, on the other hand, have no actual "army" as Israel does; only (well-disicplined, I admit) groups of (again, brainwashed) men (and children) who'll run at Israeli tanks and troops (and innocent civilians) holding only a gun and a grenade or Molotov cocktail; or better yet, gleefully wrap themsevles in a nail-packed TNT vest and walk into a crowded restaurant full of innocent people.
Hamas has no real air support, for example, that I've ever heard of (forgive me if I'm wrong here, though), and only weapons often provided by other Jew-hating Arab nations who, in fact, don't like them any more than they like the Israelis. The Israelis rarely (if ever) attack their poor, displaced (still, after 60 years, right? Suuure; the last generation that was considered "displaced" is likely in its 70s or 80s by now, and living for years in houses and neighborhoods, instead of tents and prefab emergency structures, as the words "displaced refugees" would suggest) neighbors utterly without provocation, and even take much more abuse than they should before responding in kind.
Oh do tell how all those little children killed by the Israelis connived together before they were born to start this mess! It's shocking just how low a value seems to be placed on a palestinian child's life compared to an Israeli's by you.
This snide crap isn't really even worth a comment. But.....the Israelis aren't the ones using people for shileds against enemy fire. They clearly value human life infinitely more than their Muslim enemies, as befits their faith, as opposed to the Muslim paganism. Besides, if you really want to go back "before they were born", they're all descended from the same peoples; their ancestors, really, were all there together. the jews have just as much historical right to the area as the Palestinians who refuse to admit or allow this.
Gotta go for now; got furniture to move around, including this desk. Be back later.
