On further investigation it appears this quote attributed to David Attenborough is entirely fictional.

The most probably source is from this page on Press TV's web site in the comments.
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/07/21/372201/israel-drops-phosphorus-bombs-on-gaza/

There is also an exact copy of the text not attributed to David Attenborough by someone going by the name of Aaron Cohen on the Independent's Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/TheIndependentOnline/photos/a.315767831635.155802.13312631635/10152199587196636/

Then there is another example posted by umbrokhan786 on:
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/20/33698242-israel-zionist-jews-killing-innocent-people-page-11.html

... and the list goes on. But nowhere could I find any serious suggestion that David Attenborough is the author of the statement.

Attenborough may have a dim view of Israel, that's not hard, but there are bizarre accusations in the statement that do not ring true for his character.

Its the typical Muzlim attempt to equate their lack of compunction, in these horrors, with a nations self defence. If anyone got dumped in the Middle East, they would be better off in Israel than among the tribalism, ignorance, and violent fanatacism of Islam
