The burden of proof lies on you to prove that Hamas's missiles aren't so bad, really.
And remember that feathers have a 220 million year head start, so when we compare numbers, we'll have to take that into account.
No feathers, but how about this?
The lopsided death tolls in Israel-Palestinian conflicts
These are not surprising figures. During 2012's Operation Pillar of Defense, 167 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military, according to human rights group B’Tselem, who said that less than half of that number were believed to be taking part in hostilities. The same report said six Israelis had died: Four civilians and two members of the Israeli security forces. In the 2008-2009 Gaza War, the pattern was also evident. According to numbers released by the Israeli Defense Force, 1,166 Palestinians died during that conflict, 709 of which the IDF said were "Hamas terror operatives." Thirteen Israelis died, three of whom were non-combatants.
