Some Data on the Arab-Israeli Conflict

As another Israeli-Muslim armed conflict begins, it instructive to consider the lethality of previous conflicts.  The best estimate is that about 35,000 Muslims have been killed in all of the Israel-Muslim conflicts since 1948. During that same period, about 10,000,000 Muslims have been killed by other Muslims.  The Arab-Israeli conflict overall is the 49th deadliest conflict since 1950.  Of the total 85,000,000 deaths in that period, the Israeli-Arab conflict is responsible for .06 percent of all fatalities.  Hard to understand why this conflict generates so much attention and news. Also hard to understand why so many blame Israel for killing Muslims when many many more Muslims have killed each other. (All data from Daniel Pipes website.)
