— Children younger than 16 made up one-third of the total: 280 killed, including 19 babies and 108 preschoolers between the ages of 1 and 5.
— In 83 strikes, three or more members of one family died.
— Among those killed were 96 confirmed or suspected militants — or just over 11 percent of the total — though the actual number could be higher since armed groups have not released detailed casualty lists.
— The remainder of the 240 dead were males between the ages of 16 and 59 whose names did not appear in connection with militant groups on searches of websites or on street posters honoring fighters.

SOME people are never grateful. On August 31st Israel’s government made its largest appropriation of occupied West Bank land in a generation. It took some 1,000 acres of virgin hills for a proposed new city, Givaot, doubling the population of the Gush Etzion block of settlements sprawling on the hills around Bethlehem.

fundamental tests of fairness and balance. It confines itself to
expressions of concern about the activities of a single country."

Jewish blood counts because the goal of Israel is to breed Jews, preferably white Jews, to undo the damage of the holocaust. If not for the Holocaust there could have been 30-40 million Jews now, assuming 2.5 kids per family.
They don't care about how many Palestinians they kill because they breed faster than secular Jews anyway, who are the majority in Israel. And Israel does not want Palestinians around in such numbers. They want the land for Jews. Their far right is itching to commit genocide or send them to desert equivalent of Siberia.
The Jewish religion is racist, this is not a secret.
The liberal extreme is to let whatever accidental circumstances cause a people to breed faster during a certain period to replace the people that breed slower. Natural selection vs artificial selection of racism. They're both extremes. After all, the developed world of Europe and USA doesn't open the floodgates and invite everyone in. The local populations would be overwhelmed, you might as well rename the countries.
- Your wording implies Jews are owed more of a chance of something. Nope. Holocaust does not give you that.cannonball1978

@georges
This is a very good text. Source?
There is no "left" here in Israel, there's only right and far right. All the media is state run. Israel is a militant-theocracy living the hyper-capitalist/neo-con vision. There are a few organizations here that try to balance things, like B'Tselem or ICAHD but for every organization like that there are dozens of militant right wing nationalist movements. So, basically, as legitimate the questions in the text are, there's nobody here that will give you a logical, humane or even any normal answer. That is the overwhelming majority. Privately, I personally know and have a few friends that would agree with what is written, BTW on both sides, lots of my Palestinian friends are more aware of the state terror than my Jewish friends. Blame it on education, media, propaganda or whatever. It is clear to me for some time now and more than a few people do agree with me that we are all victims here, the simple people. Both Israeli and Palestinian political leadership are corrupt and they just want the conflict to continue. It's all about the money in the end. What happened this summer in Gaza was a one on one demonstration of anti-rocket technology. What's happening right now is just another smoke screen so they can pass another law or whatever they do without the public paying attention. And, yes, people are dying. Nobody gives a fuck about that. The machine is working, money is being made. That's all that matters.- ooh I copied it from a reddit thread,
I just thought it was quite well written without the usual bias

There was a massacre in Jerusalem on Tuesday in which five Israelis were killed. There was a war in Gaza over the summer in which 2,200 Palestinians were killed, most of them civilians. A massacre shocks us; a war, less so. Massacres have culprits; wars don’t. Murder by ax is more appalling than murder by rifle, and far more horrendous than bombing helpless people trying to take shelter.
Terror is always Palestinian, even when hundreds of Palestinian civilians are killed. The name and face of Daniel Tragerman, the Israeli boy killed by mortar fire during Operation Protective Edge, were known throughout the world; even U.S. President Barack Obama knew his name. Can anyone name one child from Gaza among the hundreds killed?
A few hours after the attack in Jerusalem, journalist Emily Amrousi said at a conference in Eilat that the life of a single Jewish child was more important to her than the lives of thousands of Palestinian children. The audience’s response was clearly favorable; I think there was even some applause.
Afterward Amrousi tried to explain that she was referring to the way the Israeli media should cover events, which is only slightly less serious. This was during a discussion on the ridiculous question: “Is the Israeli media leftist?” Almost no one protested Amrousi’s remarks and the session continued as if nothing had happened. Amrousi’s words reflect Israel’s mood in 2014: Only Jewish blood elicits shock.
Israeli deaths touch Israeli hearts more than the deaths of others. That’s natural human solidarity. The bloody images from Jerusalem stunned every Israeli, probably every person.
But this is a society that sanctifies its dead to the point of death-worship, that wears thin the stories of the victims’ lives and deaths, whether it be in a synagogue attack or a Nepal avalanche. It’s a society preoccupied with endless commemorations in the land of monuments, services and anniversary ceremonies; a society that demands shock and condemnation after every attack, when it blames the entire world.
Precisely from such a society is one permitted to demand some attention to the Palestinian blood that is also spilled in vain; some understanding of the other side’s pain, or even a measure of empathy, which in Israel is considered treason.
But this doesn’t happen. Aside from exceptional murders and hate crimes by individuals, there is total apathy — and the obtuseness is frightening. Killings (we dare not say murders) by soldiers and policemen will never shock Israel. The propaganda machine will whitewash everything, and the media will be its mouthpiece. No one will demand condemnations. No one will express shock. Few will even consider that the pain is the same pain, that murder is murder.
How many Israelis are willing to give a thought to the parents of Yousef Shawamreh, the boy who went out to pick wild greens and was killed by an army sniper? Why is it exaggerating to be upset by, or at least give some attention to, the killing of Khalil Anati, a 10-year-old boy from the Al-Fawar refugee camp?
Why can’t we identify with the pain of bereaved father Abd al-Wahab Hammad, whose son was killed in Silwad, or with the Al-Qatari family from the Al-Amari refugee camp, two members of which were killed by soldiers within a month? Why do we reserve our horror for the synagogue and not consider these killings disturbing?
Yes, there is the test of intent. The typical Israeli argument is that soldiers, unlike terrorists, do not intend to kill. If so, then what exactly is the intent of the sniper who fires live bullets at the head or chest of a demonstrator a distance away who poses no threat? Or when he shoots a child in the back as he’s running for his life? Didn’t he intend to kill him?
The attack in Jerusalem was a horrendous crime; nothing can justify it. But the blood that flowed there is not the only blood being spilled here murderously. The degree to which it is forbidden to say that is incredible.

we all know how this will go in the coming weeks ... sad.

it's ok though, about a week ago they wouldn't let the UN war crime inspector in to check why more than 1500 civilian were slaughtered technologically, but like clock work, crazy palestinians can evade the 100's of controls and make a successful attack on the poor undefended israelis,

"A three-month-old girl was killed Wednesday afternoon and eight others were injured when a car crashed into a crowd at a light rail station in Jerusalem in what officials said was a terrorist attack.
...
The suspect, identified by an Israeli official as a member of terror group Hamas, attempted to flee the scene on foot and was shot and badly hurt by police, a police spokesperson said.
...
“This is how [PA President Abbas's] partners in government act, the same Abbas who just a few days ago incited attacks on Jews in Jerusalem,” Netanyahu said in a statement.A few hours after the suspected attack, dozens of masked Palestinian youths blocked roads in Silwan, set tires alight and fired off firecrackers. Clashes were reported with police forces in Silwan and Issawiya. One police officer was reported injured by a firebomb in Silwan.
A Hamas spokesperson said in response to the reports that if indeed it was a terrorist attack, then it was a natural response to Israel’s actions in Jerusalem, particularly Jewish incursions into the al-Aqsa Mosque, Israel Radio reported."

Armed Israeli settlers attack Jerusalem home celebrating Hajj return"Armed Jewish settlers on Thursday attacked a Palestinian home in the al-Suwanna neighborhood on the Mount of Olives east of the Old City of Jerusalem, removing banners celebrating the return of a family member from the Hajj pilgrimage.
Witnesses said settlers from the nearby Beit Orot settlement carrying automatic weapons approached the house on Thursday and tore down Islamic banners that the members of the al-Qadamani family had previously hung up.
The witnesses added that the assailants gave the banners to a dog that accompanied them on the raid.
The family had decorated the exterior of their house with banners reading the traditional Islamic inscription "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his prophet" in order to welcome home their son, who had returned from pilgrimage in Mecca."

^ somehow the article fails to mention that these 'islamic banners' are the fucking official ISIS flag. somehow doesn't mention how it could be a little bit provocative to have that flag flying on israeli controlled territory "to welcome home their son from the pilgrimage"

Islamic Jihad chief hails Iran role in Gaza war
"The head of Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian militant group, praised Iran for its role in last summer's Gaza conflict against Israel, during a visit to Tehran on Thursday.
"Definitely, the victory was achieved with the assistance of the Islamic republic," Ramadan Abdullah Shallah said at a meeting with Iran's supreme guide, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, quoted by Fars news agency.
"Without Iran's strategic and efficient help, resistance and victory in Gaza would have been impossible," he said of the 50-day war in which 2,200 Gazans and 73 Israelis died and the Palestinian territory was devastated."
