Assigning moral value based on sheer numbers ignores the fact that if Hamas had the same weapons, they'd likely try to rack up the same body count. In other words, in matters of intention, the two sides are equivalent; they differ only in efficacy, not morality.

Morality happens inside a man's head.


You're dealing in hypotheticals, I'm dealing in actual body count, and yes, each addition compounds Israel's culpability and the rest of the world's righteous indignation.
