I understand where you're coming from, and the need to put pieces together so that the image of oneself or their identity is acceptable.

However, while doing that, you're just ignoring the number of killed people. Unfortunately, there's no way to assemble that kind of image of Israel in this situation, where it's not red in blood of Palestinian civilians. Not to say that it's any different on the other side, and not engaging with any justifications for either side - just pointing out that you're ignoring some large and ugly parts of reality in how you represented your view of the situation.

If the number of dead were an issue, then where are the protests about Sudan (60,000 dead)? Yemen (350,000 dead)? Syria (500,000 dead)?

		> If the number of dead were an issue is quite a thing to say... We could discuss lack of protests for those countries at length and conclude it's wrong - but how does that change what I said, or what is happening in your country? It's a rather weak deflection... If you're open to being self-inquisitive, notice that I have not taken any side, and have clearly said that it's no different for the other side - so I'm not attacking your identity or country, or you - yet you replied by deflection / offense. To clarify, my goal was to, as a well-intentioned fellow HN dweller, point out that your theoretical justification for actions of Israeli military is not taking into account glaring parts of reality, and it might be good to re-evaluate solely from the perspective of improving one's critical thinking and objectivity.
