Numbers sound about right.

A time existed when the Palestinians were very good at lobbing rockets into Israel civilian areas and killing lots of them

Israel now has better defensive systems.

How many of those 1000 were

1. Fighters - who had weapons hidden after they died.

2. Caused by the Palestinians firing rockets and mortars from civilian areas, thereby ensuring

civilian casualties when the Israelis legally retaliated ?

You clearly don't know. Hospitals schools homes, you name it.

I do. Quite a few.

"Hospitals schools homes,"
Exactly where the Palestinians fire from, as the videos show.
Even a UN School.

And they complain when Israel drops a bomb on it.

By the way, a hospital or school that is used to store weapons OR to fire weapons from

is no longer afforded the protection it would be.

Therefore calling them a school, hospital when they aren't is manipulation.

The very vocal and visible support on here for the Palestinian terrorists is one example at the same time

as the downright hate thrown towards Israel and absolute denial of the Palestinians doing anything wrong.

Then quote me - verbatim - one post that supports terrorism.

Feeling compassion for and outrage on belhalf of the people of Palestine and the occupied West Bank is not synonymous with supporting terrorism.

  What is the difference between terrorism and warfare? The Palestinian "freedom fighters" fire rockets into Israel and cause a handful of deaths - and any death is too many and an outrage. The Israeli Army bomb and strafe Palestine causing thousands of deaths. - and any death is too many abd an outrage

The Palestinians want thereir own state. some of them - many of whom are probaby descendants of those who were dispossessed or found themselves second class citizens in their own land when the State of Israel came into being - want to see Israel wiped off the map. Israel wants to expand its borders to house a growing population ( it's a policy called Lebensraum in case you were wondering)  and has so far managed to veto any suggestion of a settlement.

Both sides have rights and both sides have committed atrocities and while the politicians strut and posture and manipulate thousands of Palestinians and the occasional Israeli citizen pay the price for this intransigence.

They totally deny it and the firing of the rockets from outside,

even though a video exists of it occurring.

Interesting summary.

ONE thing that would cut down deaths is if the Palestinians stopped firing rockets and mortars into Israel.

Do that and deaths would drop.

They will never win against Israel.
