I think Israel also deserves credit for being the only country in the middle east that kept the total number of casualties below 20,000. For some reason that never comes up in discussions of how evil Israel is.
Algerian Civil War (1991-2002):
- Algerian Arab government vs Islamists
- 150,000-200,00 dead
Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990):
- Arab national socialists, Syria, and PLO vs Lebanese Catholics and (for some time) Israel
- 130,000-250,000 dead (Israel was involved for five years)
Black September in Jordan (1970):
- Jordan vs PLO and Syria
- 200-25,000 dead (in one month, mostly PLO fighters)
Iraq vs Kurds and Iraq vs Shiites (1980-2003):
- Iraqi Baath government vs Kurds and Iraqi Shiites
- some 400,000 dead (and this does not include the war against Iran at the same time)
Sudanece Civil War and Darfur conflict (1983-2005, Darfur conflict ongoing)
- Sudanese Arab government and Arab militias vs Nilo-Saharan tribes
- some 2.5 million dead (mostly Nilo-Saharan civilians)
Syria vs Syrian Kurds (since 1957)
- Syrian Arab government vs Syrian Kurds
- nobody knows
Somalian Civil War (since 1991)
- Somali Arab government vs Islamists vs Somaliland government (in the north)
- 300,000-400,000 dead
I wonder why the world is so worried about 1300 victims in one of those countries. It seems that everyone is upset when Arabs attack, and instead of killing hundreds of thousands of people lose a few thousand instead. But that's not it either, because when Jordan killed 20,000 "Palestinians", nobody was worried.
And when will the world stop the Arabs?
But then in December 2008 the unthinkable happened: 1,300 Arabs died, at the hand of non-Arabs. And the world woke up. How dare Israel stop an Arab attack and win! How dare they!
Don't the fecking Jews realise that the Arabs only want peace?
The solution is obvious: The only non-Arab group currently winning must stop fighting and dismantle protective walls. More money must be given to the Arabs. And there are not enough Arab states.
