Israel is held to a higher standard while the the world silently acknowledges that Muslims are incapable of elevating to that same standard.  Via Brittanica:

I visited the World War II museum in New Orleans the other day and was struck by the following description of the U.S. bombing of Japan:

“On March 9-10, 1945, bombs incinerated 16 square miles and killed 100,000 civilians. In April, bombs destroyed 180 square miles, killed 300,000 people, and left 8.5 million people homeless.”

“Throughout the war, the United States resisted bombing civilian areas. But with time, attitudes hardened. What once became unthinkable became a deliberate policy.”

Ask yourself what America would do if its cities were bombarded by 10,000 rockets and mortars over the course of three years. Do you think the response would be proportional?

Never in history has an army gone to such great lengths to avoid the loss of innocent life as Israeli forces did during the recent Gaza operation.

   Of course. Any other nation in the world would strike out against such terrorism even stronger and quicker than Israel.

   But the truth of the matter is, the entire globe holds us to one standard, and to themselves another.

   We have always been looked upon as a cancer to the world instead of the blessing that we actually are.

   60 years after the Shoah, and the world has still learned nothing.

   We need to protect Jewish lives first, and put aside worries of our popularity. Being popular never saved anyone–but striking out against ones enemies is always a recipe for success.

   Hashem is our protector, so I could care less about world opinion. We are the chosen ones on Hashem, so let’s start acting like it.
