They use deadly force against people protesting in the Gaza Strip, an area of land the residents are unable to leave and is under an Israeli blockade. One side is considered "deadly" as they've killed over 150 people, many of them children, while the other side has killed 1.

Ridiculous claim. A few months ago Gaza militants fired 460 rockets in one day, injuring 80 people (mostly civilians) and killing one, and the IDF has barely done anything besides bomb empty buildings.

When's the last time your country restrained itself after being hit by 460 rockets in one day?

Not a ridiculous claim, the protestors that the Israeli army shot were not launching rockets. They were protesting, largely nonviolently. Thousands of civilians have been injured at these protests, and it is difficult to get the proper medical care when you're under a blockade.

> the IDF has barely done anything besides bomb empty buildings.

The immediate retaliation for those rocket strikes killed three people. How is that "barely anything?"

They use deadly force against people firing missiles in the Gaza Strip, an area of land the residents are unable to leave and is under an Egyptian and Israeli blockade because it is controlled by Hamas, a terrorist organization. One side is considered "deadly" as they've killed over 150 people, many of them children because they are used as human shields by the terrorists, while the other side has killed 1, because they're incompetent.

Fixed that for you.
