At the time of writing, between 8,437 and 10,282 Iraq civilians have been killed in the US invasion. For each civilian killed by "terrorists" on and since 9-11, the USA and its allies have brought about almost four non-combatant, civilian deaths in return.
Latest estimates suggest that the Israeli army has killed 2,750 Palestinian civilians and injured 24,006 in the last three years:

By contrast, 892 Israeli civilians have died in suicide attacks, and 5,981 injured. This represents a ratio of just over 3:1 in Palestinian deaths as compared to Israeli deaths. The Israeli leadership has repeatedly claimed that their actions against the Palestinians are part and parcel of the same "war on terror" being fought by the USA and the UK.
