Why is killing innocent people acceptable for Israelis but not for Palestinians?

In the recent Gaza conflict, about a dozen Israeli civilians were killed, and over a thousand Palestinian civilians were killed in retaliation, about a third of them children.

Of course, this is the general state of things in the region. When Palestinians do something unethical, it's an act of terrorism, but when the Israeli military does the exact same thing except on a much greater scale, it's about "protecting their sovereignty."

Is there any justification for this that does not involve an enormous double standard?
 
You forget that Hamas has killed over 500 Israeli citizens including women and children by sending suicide bombers into Israeli towns and blowing themselves up.

Palestinians also kill innocent people. There is no double standard.
 
in december israel attacks hamas,israel have been attacked for 8 years of rockets totalling 8000+ (dont say these rockets are just big fireworks because they have killed plenty)israel warned them that if they continue with this terror and suicide bombers etc then israel will attack them,well being the cowards they are they continued ,so israel attacked them (legally i might add as hamas were theaggressorss)hamas in its usual cowardly ways hid behind the civilian population and of course it was civilians who died,which made hamas happy because they then go to the world media and say "look what these israeli's have done they have killed many civilians"and that is just what hamas intended when they hid behind their very gullable people,so it is obvious that hamas is responsible for all civilian deaths ,no one else just hamas,this needs toobliteratee scum like hamas hezbollah,al quieda ,etc etc etc and the sooner the better for all.
 
No one would dare use this term in public because of the pro-Israel lobby and its hold on American politics, but I think the term "ethnic cleansing" applies.

@Pete: and that is over a time period of several years. Do you want to know how many Palestinians have been killed in that time period? Thousands and thousands more. The Gaza slaughter last month had 1300+ Palestinian civilians die and barely 1/100 of that against Israel, nearly all of whom where soldiers.

Quit with your selective statistics and comments. This is exactly the way the media distorts the reality of the conflict. And this is not even including the mass starvation and degradation of 1.5 million in Gaza, another 2.5 million in the West Bank...
