The next time someone tells you that the IDF kills civilians... show them this: In general, the IDF sums up the past year along the Gaza border as a success. It says 100 Palestinians were killed over the past year in military operations and that nine were civilians.The picture at the top is a 'civilian' killed by the IDF during Operation Cast Lead. His name was Anas Naim, and Hamas claimed he was a 'Red Crescent medic.'
This is nearly a 1:10 civilian-to-combatant ratio that is unprecedented in any other conflict in the world.
The United Nations, for example, estimates an average three-to-one ratio of civilian-to-combatant deaths in conflicts worldwide. That is three civilians for every combatant killed. Over the past year in Gaza, it has been one civilian for almost every 10 combatants killed.
