Turkey can be an example

The Turkish-Kurdish conflict (actually the conflict between Turkey and the PKK terrorist group) has cost the lives oftens of thousands of people since 1984, far more than, say, the Israeli-Arab conflict in the same time (or possibly in total):

6500 Turkish soldiers killed.

32000 PKK members are killed. (I am assuming Turkey counts them all as terrorists.)

5500 civilians killed.

I wonder why Turkey doesn't use the opportunity to demonstrate to Israel how to fight terrorists without affecting "innocent" civilians. And I wonder how many of the 32000 dead PKK members were really "innocent civilians" if the same standards are applied that apply to enemies of Israel for some reason.
