I notice that your database does not for whatever reason contain any of the actions taken by the Israeli government, why is that?

How are we supposed to get an understanding of the scale of these events while totally disregarding Israeli actions?

Because the Global Terrorism Database records non-state terrorist attacks.

State military action is categorised separately: that's not an omission, it's a definition, but you know that- you're playing stupid. The same database doesn't record US drone strikes or Russian artillery either, weird, right? Must be suppression!!!

If you want Israeli state violence, OCHA tracks it. That data has been cited in this thread already.
