#1 "At least 25 percent of Palestinians killed during Israel's onslaught on the Gaza Strip have been civilians"

So you're saying 75% of paleo "civilians" aren't stupid to live next to a rocket launcher or a ~~mosque~~ munitions dump?

Who knew?

#3 Left out: 100% - or thereabouts - of those killed by Palestinian rockets are civilians.

And Palestinian intent is that 100% of them killed should be civilians. If they get military personnel its a plus for them.

Waiting for "UN Agency" outrage to start.....

#4 It took less than a week for history to be rivised. Already the Hamas rockets are retaliation for Israeli attacks.

#5 Pfft. Nobody needs to hear from the UN's refugee-farmers. Those fuckers are the primary agents in creation of the cultural monster which is Palestinian nihilism. The whole UN refugee apparatus ought to be defunded & every single employee ought to be out on the street this morning with tin-cups and "will poison minds and condescend to indigenous peoples for food" placards.

I thought Islam was the primary agent, but I might be quibbling.

#7 Islam wasn't a factor until recently. Before that, it was your garden-variety Soviet-sponsored so-called-liberation-movement.

#8 Don't forget that according to the U.N. there are no 'terrorists' in the world (they haven't defined what terrorism is yet) so what we would call a terrorist - they call a 'civilian'.

#10 So what would a good figure be? Does the UN want 99% or something? I say 75% is amazing and it shows the determination of Israel to try to target terrorists as best they can even though the terrorists do their best to hide behind women and children. And men.

#11 "Civilian" means prying the rifle out of their dead hands before taking pictures.

#14 "Islam wasn't a factor until recently. Before that, it was your garden-variety Soviet-sponsored so-called-liberation-movement."

Now, its so-called Democratic Liberation....or something. I guess injecting the word Democratic, give the words, Islamic Terrorist, a smooth edge.
