Gaza Invaded

Israeli troops enter Gaza; Bridges hit - Yahoo! News

So in response to an attack against an Israeli military outpost on Palestinian soil on the border between Palestine and Egypt and the taking of a single POW, the IDF invades Gaza and attacks civilian targets such as the main power station and bridges. Yet the Palestinians are the badguys, the terrorists. The fate of a single Israeli soldier is taken to be of more moral worth then the lives and well-being of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. This amounts to a cynical disregard of even the most basic ethical precepts.
