It seems your issue isn't that civilians are dead, but that you are actually paying attention and seeing it now that it's happening to the colonizers. When it happens in Gaza you don't pay attention to the images, you don't empathize with the families destroyed.

But now there's a relatively (to all that the IDF has done) small attack from Palestine and suddenly it's front page news everywhere.
