USA attacked Taliban in 2001 & they did it with only killing no less than 4000 civilians in 1st 3 months. In Iraq, 2007, 67 Civilians killed on avg day - 3000 killed in July and August 2007 (icasualties.org). Now Okinawa 1945 (wondering if Japanese soldiers mixed in with Okinawan civiliians) the US killed 150,000 civilians. So Israel is using disproportionate force causing civilians casualites relative to other conflicts of trying to eliminate enemies, but those were against people 1000s of miles away. Hmm, Jordan sending out PLO in 1070 - 10,000 civilian deaths - Israel has a long way to go
