I am Kyle's self-indulgence

What's the difference between Palestinian suicide bombers killing Israeli civilians, and Israel's government killing Lebanese civilians?

How can a morally consistent person condemn one act of terrorism, but support another?

From NPR:

Israel bombed a series of bridges and roads across Lebanon, dividing the country and stranding citizens desperate to flee. One missile hit a van full of civilians, killing 15 according to local police.

Israeli forces also struck gas stations, and an upscale boardwalk in central Beirut, and continued to pound the south Beirut neighborhood that is Hezbollah's stronghold. Lebanese authorities say the total death toll has reached 100, almost all of them civilians.
