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?
