Just noticed something, I wanted to clarify, that was supposed to be 10-1 not 100-1.

That is much better - but still way too high, IMO. However, it is reasonable to believe that when a group of under educated, under trained, poorly led, poorly armed terrorists attack a much stronger country and hide among women and children, the aggressors will die in much greater numbers than their enemy. It is unfortunate that there is so much collateral damage to the minority of Gazans who do not actively support Hamas, but that is not Israel's fault.

Israel is not killing innocent Egyptians and Jordanians because those nations are not allowing terrorist attacks to be launched from their soil. Israel gave up Gaza to the Palestinians despite critics warning that it would be used as a launching ground for Hamas' rockets, and that is exactly what has happened. There is nothing that Israel can do short of obliterating Gaza that will stop the terrorist attacks against its civilian population.
