120,000 bodies.
Even the Syrians are fed up with Palestinians whining over every scratch while they're struggling to collect their organs from the streets.
The comparison is an insult to the Syrians.
More than half of the casualties in the Syrian conflict have been combatants. Since the Syrian Arab Army is fighting against a real military force, there are combatant casualties on both sides and civilian casualties caused by both sides. In Gaza, on the other hand 80% of the casualties were civilians killed by the Israelis. And, stop making things up. Killing hundreds of children at a time like the Israelis do is not a "scratch". But, that's how you people think, the killing of non-Jewish children is a "scratch" but God forbid a Jewish kid is killed. Disgusting racists.
Death Tolls
2016 alone: 16,913 civilians killed
1,984 children and 1,237 women
It's not that civilian lives don't matter, it's that pushing the false narrative that the IDF deliberately targets them as a matter of policy doesn't help the cause at all. Meanwhile next door 55,000 children have been killed since the start of the conflict. Civilians are beseiged and starved in cities. And people quibble about the horrible Israelis and horrible Palestinians and try to make comparisons where comparisons simply aren't possible when in Syria schools and hospitals have been confirmed to have been deliberately targeted not once, not twice but until there are none left in the city to care for the wounded.
You do realize that the population involved in Syria is about 20 times that of Gaza. In 2014 alone, the UN reported 1,483 civilians killed. 496 children and 253 women in Gaza. Do the math and tell me that the Gazans were lucky they were killed by Israelis. Proportionally, 9,920 children and 24,740 would have been killed in the Syrian conflict if the Syrian military on both sides had been as brutal as the Israelis.
No one said that they were "lucky" to be killed by Israeli's but if the Israeli's were using the methods the armies in Syria were using the death rates would be many times higher because, proportionately - Gaza is
much more densely populated then Syria and THAT, not Israel's methods is one of the biggest reasons for such high casualty rates. If the Israeli's were using barrel bombs what do you suppose it would look like?
The point is - the Israeli Army has been cleared multiple time of deliberately targeting civilians. Syria - sadly all side in the conflict, have been complicit in targeting civilians, starving them under seige, and targeting schools and hospitals.
