15. Civil war: "a war between opposing groups of citizens in the same country."
The West Bank and Gaza are not part of Israel.
Palestinians are not citizens.

This is not a civil war by any definition. This is a conflict between a nuclear armed illegal occupier and an occupied civilian population.

There may be a civil war in israel between the settlers and the gov't... but that's another story.

Leftist Brit: the notion of parity that underlies your statement does not exist.
