With two extremely different political bodies on either side of this conflict, any comparison of proportionality and civilian body count may be irrelevant. Israel cannot and should not wish to be held to the same standards as an organization that defends and establishes itself illegitimately through terrorist action.

You'll get a better feel for the overall experience of each TV if you look at one and then leave the store for a few minutes before coming back in to look at the next...
