According to Al-Mezan, the Palestinian human rights org (whose casualty figure has been oddly
conservative, lower than that used by most media outlets), the vast
majority of those killed have been civilians, with only 14 percent being fighters.
Some might demand that it be corroborated by an additional count, but
it does concur with accounts by civilians and medical personnel from
hospitals in Gaza, not to mention all the pictures coming out. The
majority of people killed in Lebanon in 2006 were civilians. Remember
too that according to several studies, principally those conducted by
The Lancet and Opinion Research Business, the majority of those killed in Iraq were civilians.
(PS: MP Kaufman's comment on the West being subdued by Holocaust guilt is an echo of what Desmond Tutu said a few months ago.)
