Remember:
Deir Yassin, 9 April 1948
A picture to ponder (The Independent, 21 May 2003)
Kafr Kassem, 29 October 1956
and others.....
A word of current interest is PROPORTIONALITY.
The Oxford dictionary offers this definition:
pro•por•tion•al•ity  noun: (formal) the principle that an action,
a punishment, etc. should not be more severe than is necessary

Residents of Gaza might think this an odd definition as the going rate seems to be about one hundred to one; 1300 fatalities in Gaza against 13 in Israel in January 2009.  Pictorially, this might be represented by this picture of a mother and child in Gaza sitting on the remains of their home (January 2009) with a picture 100 times smaller.

Gaza ruins 100

Gaza ruins 1

What conclusion can one draw from this?  One type of person is worth a hundred of another type?
Which holy book tells us this?
