Just to clarify, in the recent war only around 60-80 civilians have been killed as collateral in Israeli airstrikes according to the UN.  The 400 number includes the over 300 terrorists and other various Hamas members the airstrikes have killed.

 

link? All I have heard on numerous sites is over 400 civilians.

You heard wrong.  Thats the kind of misunderstanding that paints Israel as some kind of inhuman bastard child.

As someone mentioned earlier, nations like the USA and Israel will spend billions on smarter weapons to try and minimise civilian casualities when killing terrorists through airstrikes becomes a necessity, whereas Hamas is simply pointing rockets at towns and cities and pushing the button.

Edit:  This article is just 9 hours old btw.

 

Thanks for the source.

However, the attack just today on the apartment building was far more than the 4:1 "terrorist" vs "civilian" death toll. Regardless of anything else, we should not accept US made arms being used to destroy apartment buildings killing one bad guy and numerous innocents.

Plus, this is ignoring the 2000+ others who have been wounded. A lost leg, arm, eye, etc is almost as bad as death.
