Well, the Israeli's don't need to use their Nuclear weapons, they're doing a good job of blowing up men, women and children using conventional weapons

The death toll in Gaza has topped 1,400, with more than 40 people dying after another day of intense Israeli bombardment from air, sea and land.

The toll is now greater than in both previous rounds of fighting between Israel and Hamas. Israeli military losses are also significantly higher.

Palestinian officials in Gaza said on Thursday that 8,200 people had been wounded in the four-week operation. Up to 80% of the Palestinian casualties were civilians, according to local non-government organisations and the UN.

Three civilians on the Israeli side and 56 soldiers have been killed so far.

Now imagine the outrage from the 'free West' leaders if it was 1,400 Israelis that had been killed
