I think German deaths in WWII were about 20x those of the UK - does the imbalance upset you?
Not a particularly useful figure.
Allied deaths were many times higher than Axis deaths - even more so among civilians.
Either way - not an indicator of who's right and who's wrong.
The trouble is, a lack of a solution by the West (who caused the problem in the first place, with their insensitive & Colonial handling of the initial creation of Israel) has allowed factions to develop - leading to illegitimate methods in pursuit of, if not legitimate, then at least wholly understandable ends.
The IRA being a more homegrown example - in the past, enthusiastically funded by the US.
