Israelis are not dying in great numbers, so they must be the aggressors. This is the logic spewed out by many news organizations, even on my beloved MSNBC this past Wednesday. Imagine if we used such logic in WWII and accused the US of using excessive force because American civilian causalities were almost non-existent compared to the German and Japanese civilian death counts. Because the war was not fought on American soil, sparing American cities from destruction and minimizing the American loss of life, was America the aggressor in WWII? Or was America forced to respond to the aggression of irrational leaders holding countries and populations hostage in unprovoked aggression? So, again, because the Israeli death count doesn’t match that of the people of Gaza, is Israel the aggressor in this current conflict?
