Fantastic Analysis! I have always maintained that the fatality statistics quoted by AP and Reuters were flawed due to Palestinian deaths composed of suicide bombers, armed terrorists KIA, and collaborator murders.

Now we have it: 69% of Israelis killed have been Non-Combatants, 13.6% of Palestinians killed have been Non-Combatants. This documents the moral distinction between evil Palestinian terrorists targeting unarmed innocent women and children, and good uniformed Israeli soldiers trying to avoid killing innocents.

Will any mainstream news organization pick this up and explain it to people?

The Israeli Government doesn't do PR very well any more. I don't know why that is so. They should be out in force meeting with editors, journalists, politicians.

Not only these statistics are important. There is a lot Israel does that most people don't know about. For example, during the battle of Jenin, IDF troops were actively working to fix broken water mains, they brought a generator to the Palestinian hospital so that the sick and wounded could be treated, they worked to repair damaged power lines, etc ... all while the battle was raging. Yet all we heard was "massacre".

Israel needs to get more information out, and at a faster pace.
