The civilian death ratio of Palestinians to Israelis is, conservatively, 45 to 1 — and this gulf grows larger each day.

    On “both sides”? What Israeli civilians are killed in Gaza?

    EDIT: Nvm, it’s about the hostages. Yeah, then I guess it’s a fair assessment.

    The ratio is 250 to 1 if you use the estimated Palestinian deaths from the scientific article published in The Lancet medical journal a few months ago.

    Remember that the 40,000 number (which is the one that seems to have been used to get this 45 to 1 ratio) was what was counted in Hospitals in Gaza when corpses arrived or injured died in the Hospital, and “curiously” Israel destroyed most Hospitals in Gaza and since then “curiously” that 40,000 number barelly moved even while we pretty much get daily news of Israeli attacks killing tens or even over a hundred civilians.

    Now they are comparing a basket of apples with a truckload of oranges. You can’t tell me the number of civilians killed are even in the same ballpark.

    Edit: Okay. Now I’ve read the article.
