 == scratch this article proposal == 

 Re the ongoing move/intro debate, the current article as is doesn't make sense. There should be an israeli military operation sub article devoted to operation cast lead. current article is supposedly a more generalized context of the ongoing I-P and A-I situation. this is clearly seen from article title which is a generalized conflict, rather than specific operation/offensive. If a new operation cast lead article is created, a is warranted since current article is NOT about the operation, than what is the raison d'tat of current article? a broader I-P article already exists. 
 The current article, IMO, has no basis and should be scratched, with sections merged into operation cast lead and Israeli–Palestinian conflict respectively. regards    

 :Please read WP:POVFORK. What you propose is not accepted by the wider Wikipedia community. Whenever possible, we should combine topics that are related into a single article, and if a WP:SUMMARY forking is to be done, it should be done around the general topics of the main article, not around a specific aspect or point of view on a subject. For a great example of how to do WP:SUMMARY, see 2008 Mumbai attacks. Thanks!  == Charts for numbers of dead and wounded ==

 I will hopefully update this chart daily, or more frequently. The chart may be useful somewhere in the article. I will let others decide about sizing and placement. Click the chart to see the largest size.  

 I list my current data sources on the image page. Please leave later data sources on the image talk page:  
 *commons:File talk:Gaza-Israel war deaths.png 

 I hope to create a chart for the number of wounded too. I need a mainstream news source for the number of Israeli wounded. I may create a chart for both the dead and the wounded, too.  

 Feel free to create other charts and upload them with new names. I use this online charting site:

 :Add it in the casualties section.'   

 : Superb.  I wholly commend the inclusion.   

 :I don't think a chart is really necessary when there are only 2 data points. ' - '  

 ::I think the chart is excellent. It neatly sums up the most important issue in this conflict.   

 :::: If only two data points is the primary objection, respective casualties could be added giving four. We could also use a linear timeline graph to show casualities by day.   

 ::::What's the point? We have the numbers. This graphs adds nothing, and is nothing but a way to imply to the reader - ""look, the Palestinians have so many more dead, they must be the poor, righteous side here."" Why don't we add a graphs of all of Hamas's rockets attacks every day? About percentage of civilian targets hit by both sides (Oh, Hamas would look just great in that. Despite having multiple army bases within range of its rockets, it always chooses to fire at the civilian population, instead of, say, Airforce bases). Oh, we can have such fun with these graphs!    
 :::::Okedem, you need to go read WP:AGF. Discussion gets nowhere when we assume bad faith. We add a percentage of civilians killed on both sides, except the Palestinian numbers aren't really clear (its about 150-200 out of 537). Also there is no real way of quantifying what is in Hamas' range, and what is not.'   
 ::::::VR, I know when to AGF, though your concern is certainly appropriate.
