This is me manufacturing outrage for 50 dead civilians in Palestine while ~20,000+ civilians (including over 300 Palestinians) have died in Syria in the past 18 months.
Totally not anti-Semitic brehs.

It probably incurs more outrage when Israel does it because Israel is a democracy, and so they should be better than that. Do you think people would act equally surprised if, say, the Canadian government killed thousands of civilians than if some authoritarian regime did it? I'm not saying it's right or that the deaths in Gaza are more tragic, but there's something more to the double standard than just anti-semitism.
