Muslims killed by Israel

There is a despicable report by the Israeli foreign ministry--and it is despicable even by the standard despicable standards of the Israeli government--about how many Muslims killed by fellow Muslims versus how many killed by Israel.  This report follows the values and methods of the allies of Israel in the white supremacist South African government of past years, which used to similarly argue that blacks kill more blacks than killed by the white supremacists of South Africa.  You will be surprised--or maybe not--to see the similarities between the propaganda of apartheid south Africa and apartheid Israel.  But if you want to even argue with the claims of the report you have to say that it misses an important element: not only are the victims of Israeli terrorism undercounted but also it disregards the direct or indirect role (meaning through arming one side or politically and military helping one side) that Israel has played in various war and civil wars by Muslims.  The dirty hands of Israel have been involved in those wars: the Lebanese civil wars (in 1958 or in 1975-1989), the Kurdish rebellion in Iraq, the Sahara conflict in the maghrib, the Sudan conflict, the Yemeni conflict (from the early 1960s on), the Oman revolt, Black September, the Afghan war of the 1980s, the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood revolt of 1979-1982 and the current Syrian war, the Iran-Iraq war, and this is not counting the close association between Israel and the repressive regimes of Morocco, Tunisia (of Ben Ali), Mauritania (the military dictatorship), Sudan (of Numayri and the South Sudan militias), the Sadat-Mubarak regimes, the Saudi government, the Iran Shah government, the Qabus government, the UAE sons of Zayid regime, the Monarchist forces in Yemen, the Jordanian regime, the Syrian rebels, and this is not to mention the role by the enemy state of Israel in America's wars against the left around the world during the Cold War.  Only when you cant all those intervention and roles, and only when you count the non-Muslims also killed by Israel, the assessment can be discussed.
