Your applying an invalid comparative analysis.

Israel destroys thousands of homes, hundreds of businesses, farms and acres of farmland, many fishing boats, yet only kills a few hundred fighters.

Your numbers don't add up. Israel deliberately targets civilians and civilian infrastructure.
(COMMENT)

In many conflicts, especially in an unconventional and asymmetric landscape, there is going to be one side that is more proficient at some critical component of the conflict.

Both sides are attempting to break the others will to fight; bringing a halt to the conflict.

The Strategic Corporal: Leadership in the Three Block War
The widespread availability of sophisticated weapons and equipment will "level the playing field" and negate our traditional technological superiority. The lines separating the levels of war and distinguishing combatant from "non-combatant," will blur, and adversaries, confounded by our "conventional" superiority, will resort to asymmetrical means to redress the imbalance.​

Israel is attempting to achieve that goal by several means:
  • Superior Firepower;
  • Effective Control and Quarantine Countermeasures over the threats, and the most probably areas that harbor threats;
  • The application of sensory and behavioral analysis technologies to support enhanced perception of intent of insurgents;
  • The application of enhanced Human Intelligence assets capable of acquiring proximity to the insurgents;
  • Deny the insurgency the local support necessary to maintain their cover and concealment;
  • Reducing the availability of Materials necessary to construct weapons;
  • Reduce the potential for infiltration of SALWs;
  • The establishment and maintenance of the security countermeasures in place;
  • Erecting an effective Border Screening program to identify and apprehend hostile Arab Palestinians;
  • Establishing a fast response to insurgent hostile activity.
As these programs become ever increasingly more effective, the great the likelihood that the insurgents will use densely populated areas and operate as close as possible to IHL protected people and facilities. This is not new. It has been ongoing since the occupation of the territories. Initially, the occupation was lenient and flexible. But as the Jihad and Hostile Arab Palestinians took tactical advantage of those opportunities to mount terrorist operations against Israel (people and sovereignty), the more the Israelis had to gradually install ever greater, more intrusive and more effective security programs.

It should be remembered that most of the security apparatus and barriers that the Arab Palestinians complain about, went in after the turn into the 21st Century. For the first half century, the security measures in the West Bank were much less restrictive. What we see today is a direct consequence of the hostile and Jihadist behaviors over the period.

Well, as usual, you only tell half the story; and half of it is wrong.

What boycott? Google Chairman: Israeli tech second only to Silicon Valley

Google chief says Israeli tech second only to Silicon Valley
And that makes it OK to bomb the crap out of civilians in Gaza?

Is deflection all you have?
(COMMENT)

The assumption you are pushing is that the Gaza Strip Civilian Casualties are purely the fault of the Israelis. Of course that would be wrong. The casualties would not be under fire if the Gaza Strip Leaders did what they were suppose to do:

RULES: Customary IHL
  • 23. Location of Military Objectives outside Densely Populated Areas
  • 24. Removal of Civilians and Civilian Objects from the Vicinity of Military Objective
  • 97. Prohibited Human Shields
Each party to the conflict must give effective advance warning of attacks which may affect the civilian population, unless circumstances do not permit. The Israelis do this when the situation permits; for the purpose of efforts to minimize civilian casualties. The IDF:

Pursuant to Rule #20
  • Makes Phone Calls and Text Messages
  • Dropped Leaflets
  • Roof-Knocking with a loud non-lethal devise on the roofs.
Pursuant to Rule #21 and Rule #14

• When a choice is possible between several military objectives for obtaining a similar military advantage, the objective to be selected must be that the attack on which may be expected to cause the least danger to civilian lives and to civilian objects.

• When there is no clear path to minimize civilian casualties, the aerial strike or artillery bombardment is aborted.

When the IDF executes these rules, it is expected that the Arab Palestinian remove Civilians and Civilian Objects from the Vicinity of Military Objective or move legitimate Military Targets from the out and away from densely populated areas. When the Arab Palestinian intentionally and continually locate otherwise legitimate military targets in the vicinity of Civilian Objects, they are attempting to avoid Israeli Targeting. "Under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, “utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations” constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts (RULE 97).

"EXCERPTS ICRC REVIEW 10-12-2012" said:
"Among the rules that the parties to an armed conflict must respect when conducting hostilities, there is the prohibition of direct attacks against civilians and of indiscriminate attacks; the obligation to respect the principle of proportionality in attacks; and the obligation to take all feasible precautions so as to avoid as far as possible civilian casualties."

As is recalled in Article 3 common to the Geneva Conventions, the mere fact that an armed group – be it labelled "criminal," "freedom fighters," "terrorist" or otherwise – is party to an armed conflict does not give it any particular status under IHL. It does, however, create legal obligations for the armed group, as for any party to an armed conflict – in particular, the obligation to ensure that its members respect IHL at all times.

But the application of IHL does not affect the sovereignty of a State or a government's right to suppress rebellion through armed force and to prosecute insurgents under its own laws.

Nice rant, but it does not address my post.
 
RE: Boycott Israel

Yes it does...

Nice rant, but it does not address my post.
(COMMENT)

It explains how Arab Palestinians intentionally set the conditions that lead to the thousands of homes (used from criminal or illicit behaviors), hundreds of businesses (in the vicinity of insurgent operations or used to provide direct support to insurgents), farms and acres of farmland (these are evaluated on a case by case basis; but that very small portion of land used to construct security barriers was caused by the Arab Palestinians), many fishing boats (? how many, I'm having trouble finding even a couple).

Much of what you claim, is a result of intentional confrontations caused by Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP). The farther down the path of conflict the HoAP have chosen, [( • There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad.) and (Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. This it is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase. • )]. That in there own words. Even the Commander of the al-Qassam Brigades --- when he says: "Gone is the time in which Hamas discussed recognition of Israel. The discussion now is about when we will wipe out Israel."

The Arab Palestinian can no longer say they are moving towards a peaceful solution or even want a peaceful solution. They want conflict, and have been wanting to promote conflict for decades. In such cases, the Arab Palestinian should expect, as a political-military strategy of conflict, increasing numbers of casualties; which you are attesting to. WHY? (Rhetorical) BECAUSE it is part of the strategic strategy to gain sympathy for their pathological behaviors.

For the normal Arab Palestinian on the street --- they are nothing more than cannon fodder and media set pieces for the HoAP cause. And you can expect more, as it is their intention.

Mennonite Math Teacher Sues Kansas For Not Hiring Her Because She Boycotts Israel

The ACLU case is the first major legal challenge to laws aimed at halting the boycott, sanctions and divestment movement.

Esther Koontz made it to the final stages of the hiring process and had signed up to lead several trainings when the Kansas State Department of Education told her she could not get paid if she didn’t sign the anti-boycott document. The American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing Koontz, claims the state requirement that contractors not participate in boycotts of Israel violates her right to free speech and equal protection,

As these laws pop up across the country, BDS has become an increasingly divisive issue. Supporters say it is a nonviolent way to oppose Israel’s decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories; critics say it is an anti-Semitic attempt to delegitimize Israel. The ACLU, which has long spoken out against anti-BDS legislation, argues that the measure passed in Kansas punishes individuals “based on their protected political beliefs and associations.”

Funny: “palestinian territories” with no “palestinian” name. Because, they are a hoax.

Palestine originated as a Roman name for ancient Israel.

Agreed. Thus the relief from these security measures will only come from the cessation of hostile and terrorist activity. And the Arab Palestinians are not prepared to give that up.
