To imply the deaths of 1200 Israelis is somehow equivalent is to tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths is once again to significantly downplay the Palestinian right to life.

It's convenient for you to lump Gaza into Palestine for the purposes of death equivalences. The Palestinian (West Bank) situation is not the same. The Palestinians of the West Bank are not lobbing rockets into Israel.

Had Hamas not murdered 1200 Israelis, nor kidnapped 200+ people, nor then holding them from release, Gazan deaths would have been reduced/avoided.
