That being said, it is sad to me how even killing babies doesn't change one's perspective.
But then again, even the Nazi's tried to hide the fact that they were exterminating Jews. Nowadays you can kill Jewish and other Israeli babies and people cheer for you in the streets of Canada.

I find the fact that Hamas slaughtered babies horrific, but I am confused why people don't think Isreali bombing isn't killing babies?
Or even US bombing Bagdad, no babies were killed then?
I think it is Telal Asad who wrote an article on the subjective ways the west moralizes killing. Beheading people is somehow worse than blowing them up at a distance.
