Middle East casualty reality check

Every once in a while we see videos of anti-Israel rallies talking about how Israel is killing Palestinian Arabs (or Arab children) every day.

In early July, an Arab was killed after repeated warnings as he was apparently climbing onto an IDF vehicle (it was unclear if he was run over or shot.)

This was the only Palestinian Arab killed since the beginning of May by the IDF.




There were dozens killed in Lebanon as well but I couldn't find a good estimate.

Also, there are Palestinian Arab children being killed nearly every day - in Syria.

You know how people like to refer to the "cycle of violence"? Well, look at this: when Israelis aren't being killed, neither are Palestinian Arabs.
