My thought, when reading this article, is that Israel is the fulcrum, the sharp end, on almost all international issues of interst. Here is a gay, possibly communist Israeli Jew who loves helping the Palestinians. He is alienated in so many ways
This is what happens when a good person, a Jew, living in the holy land, is separate from Torah and Avodas Hashem...
Teshuva is the answer.

Bombings and Death
In Iraq, a suicide bomber kills 20, 25.
In Israel, a suicide bomber kills three.
In Gaza, an Israel mortar kills 40 in a school where Hamas men were firing mortars at the Israeli troops.
In Sederot, a kassam lauched deliberately at a school damages an empty kindergarden classroom.
A katusha launched from Gaza at Ashdod kills a family of Israeli ARABS.
=============================================
Why do so many more Arabs die in attacks than Jews?
I believe that it is an open miracle. My wife thinks it is a hidden miracle. Hashem is protecting us.
If you look at the # of Arab attacks against Jewish targets versus attacks aimed at Arab targets (by both Israel and their fellow Arabs), clearly the casualties on Israel's side could be much "less", G-d forbid.
As with any miracle that Hashem does in this generation, there are logical explanations that don't involve Hashem's intervention, as far fetched as they seem to me.

Many generations to come
Here is a comment from a NY Times reader, 'Hakim':
"Once again, Israel has demonstrated its thirst for blood and callous disregard for human life and international law. The carnage they leave behind in Gaza will fuel hatred and violence in the region for many generations to come and they will surely pay for it sooner or later!."
It is worth noting that sixty-one years after the establishment of the State of Israel, no one worries that the fact that no Arab country or party recognizes Israel as a Jewish State or that Hamas is committed to Israel's destruction will fuel hatred and violence on the part of Jews will for 'many generations to come'.
