If you see major news outlets from the US, from New York Times to Washington Post, they call for both sides of Israel and Palestine's Hamas to restrain as if it's a war where both sides are equal in strength. Even Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, asserts that Israel has an "absolute" right to defend itself from militant attacks. He says Israel should "do everything it possibly can to avoid civilian casualties even as it is rightly responding in defence of which people". Really? They are "defending"? Just imagine China occupying US territory and when the US revolts and China in "self-defense" attacks and kills more than 80 innocent American civilians, would you think Mr. Blinken would have given that statement?
