[quote=scaredyclassic]i think the plan is like bombing Dresden, you just make war so unpalatable that people give in.

I wonder if we killed more kids in Iraq or Israel in gaza. I bet it’s close.[/quote]
I’m not sure exactly what the death toll is in Gaza from this current round, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,200 last I heard. It’s been going on for a little over 3 weeks now. Almost 25,000 died during the firebombing of Dresden, over a 3 day period.
The number of child casualties in Iraq has been estimated as high as 50,000, out of highest estimates of a million total casualties.
The total number of direct casualties on both sides in the Israel/Palestinian conflict over the last 25 years is around 25,000. Solely for the purpose of adding some perspective, that 25,000 is dwarfed, by an order of magnitude, the more than 250,000 direct casualties in the last 3 years in the current conflict in Syria.
