The next time someone tells you that the IDF kills civilians....

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.

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.
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.'
