Let's turn the situation upside down. It often makes it easier to see a situation:
Let's say Palestinians do and say what Israel and Israelis have done and said.
Israelis shot, left to bleed without aid, some immobile wounded Israelis finished with 'confirming the kill' (as Israelis say when they kill wounded Palestinians) shots when they offer no threat?
And a same excuse of them being 'attackers' paraded again and again by Palestinian officials, who would publicly support killing of wounded Israelis and condemn those who criticize it?
What would be the reaction of Israel's government, media, Jewish citizens and 'Western' politicians and media?
I think we all know it.
A huge avalanche of condemnation.
But when Israel does this to Palestinians, what is the reaction? Almost total silence - and attempt by Israel's online troll army to silence those few places like The Independent which report this and those online commentators who condemn what Israel is doing and what its representatives are saying.

Israel's political leaders can say and do the most offensive and awful things without it carrying no price from the 'West'.
No wonder that single UN Resolution then makes them go mad when they have been taught by the 'West' that they can get away with all.
Theirs is the anger of the pampered child who has always gotten his way no matter what - leaving a trail of blood behind him...
3.
Israel has killed about 70 Palestinian children in the last 15 months.
At the same time Palestinians have killed 1 Israeli child.
In 2014 Israel killed over 560 Palestinian children, while Palestinians killed 4 Israeli children.
But according to the 'West' it's Israel which is 'defending itself'. It's Israel which needs 'security' - not the Palestinians.
The over 2200 Palestinian children killed by Israel in this century, the several hundred Lebanese children also killed by Israel - they don't matter.
In the eyes of the 'West' they, their lives and their deaths - don't usually exist.
If they are mentioned, then some Israeli apologists tell us that its the fault of Palestinians that Israel kills their children and if Palestinians would just give up, stop resisting and give their entire land over to Zionists, then everything would be right and Israel wouldn't have to kill more children to 'defend itself'.

Israel denies medical aid to many of the Palestinians it wounds. It delays aid to all of them. No matter age or gender.
But what it does is to strip many of them to their underwear and often fully naked while letting them bleed without medical aid. Some are hand-cuffed.
Israel can do this - strip them naked and handcuff - but it for some reason can't give them first aid or move them to hospital.
'Security reasons' its spoke-persons say, 'had to check up first' - meaning clothes stripped soon after shooting, sometimes immediately, and then left to bleed for an hour or hour and a half, as long as it takes for the wounded to die.
And Israel allows its illegal settlers with their assault rifles to loiter around wounded, bleeding, naked and dying people - often children - taking photographs of the victims as trophies.
For some reason the 'Western' media both refuses to mention this and refuses to publish the images.
5.
If Palestinians would do to Israeli Jews what Zionists do to Palestinians, the world would never allow it.
Not for one month, but it has allowed this to go on for 69 years.
