More Nazis died in World War II than Americans. Did that mean the Germans were the victims and the Americans the perpetrators?
Obviously to really understand what is happening we need more information.
Israel has done everything possible to avoid hurting innocent civilians. It targets terrorists who intentionally (not accidentally) hurt women and children. Palestinian terrorists not only detonate themselves in Pizzarias, buses, and nursery schools but also use Palestinian children as human shields. Israel laments the accidental casualties of war. In contrast, Palestinians (and not just the terror groups) take to the streets and celebrate Israeli or American casualties.
Palestinians are taught that if they are killed by the IDF while fighting, they will be instantly transported to paradise and be rewarded with 72 willing virgins. They can see the PA govt. handing out $25,000 checks to the families of suicide bombers. They can see streets and schools named after "Martyrs for HOly Jihad". This means, that especially among young men aged 14 - 29, there is great pressure to wage individual or group attacks at any Israeli, soldier or civilian including acts which could easily get them killed.
The Israelis on the other hand value life ---every life---and take great measures to protect the lives of their own citizens as well as their own soldiers.
The differential in the death toll does not prove that the Israelis are at fault.
The fact that you grossly inflated these numbers show you are willing to use falsified information to make your point rather than arrive at the ultimate truth about the situation.
Why the Palestinian death toll is higher than the Israeli death toll
