That's antisemitism, plain and simple.
Israel's record with civilians in combat is the best in the history of warfare (better than the USA, UK, and NATO). UN records show that Israel's 1:1 ratio of civilians to combatants is significantly better than the 3:1 or 4:1 by the rest of the western world. And let's face it, NONE of those nations would be as harshly condemned for responding to even 1 rocket launched into their country. Only Israel, and after thousands of rockets (which the haters never condemn for some odd reason).
Sorry, but there's only one explanation for it.
There's only one reason people choose to portray the Jewish state as bloodthirsty when that's demonstrably not the case - as it is now.
