> 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.
