Assad kills >180k of his own citizens, no one cares anymore. ISIS has killed thousands if not more in the past week (they have reached Lebanon) with over three hundred executed in the back of the head into a shallow ditch SS style, as well several hundred beheaded w/ their heads mounted on spikes for god knows what reason, we don't care. Every time you put the word Israel in the conversation it seems all proportionality is lost.

This is a thread about Israel and Palestine, if you think things like ISIS need to be talked about, start a thread. Otherwise I have no idea what exactly you'd think would be discussed in this thread. It's not like it was started by a staunch supporter of Palestine to demonise Israel.
Regardless, your first paragraph works the same if you replace "Israel" with "Muslims":

It doesn't matter what side you're on, idiocy and bigotry are rampant against both. No sense in pretending it only ever exists against Israel.
