Open calls for the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians of Gaza are becoming ever more frequent in Israel. The Palestinians have been reduced to subhumans, to be shot, starved, dispossessed, subjugated, tortured, bombed, abused and expelled with barely a shrug.

This is the difference: Israel carried out a surgical strike on one building to deal with Iranian commanders planning terrorism. Iran fired hundreds of drones and missiles indiscriminately at civilians and would have killed many thousands were it not for Israel’s air defences.
