More than 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Gaza since the Israeli military began Operation Protective Edge on 8 July. Israeli human rights group B?Tselem estimates that more than a quarter of those are under 18.

He's got a point, that's been the Palestinians' mantra since Arafat, the total annihilation of Israel. Is Israel supposed to conclude that the threats are nothing more than over the top overly emotional rhetoric? If the Palestinians had the same weapons as the Israelis this would be a war where the death toll on both sides would be in the hundreds of thousands.
