You hear over and over that Israel is doing everything they can to limit civilian deaths. That compared to any other war they are accomplishing this. So, my question is how many civilians have been killed so far?
It's a good question.
Just I'm really not sure why it's relevant out of context of each specific mission and campaign.
How many were human shields, mistaken identities, unknown that they were there, known that they would be in danger but the target was valuable enough, were in areas of announced fighting and chose not to leave...
Unless the idea is "well X amount per week means that you're OK and "doing enough", and more than that is "not acceptable""
Which is quite a stupid (and possibly anti-semetic) idea if I may say so.
I dont remember any other western (or any other!) force being judged on this metric ever - in real time or even post facto (aside from some moron leftists who hit on the US record in WWII)
