These pictures are very graphic, and when one analyzes the frictional region of the Middle East, particularly in the Holy Land (Israel and Palestine), one has to understand the history of the conflict between Israel and its neighbors, who have attacked her and threatened her very existence as a nation and state. Both sides, Israel and Palestine, are responsible for attacks on each other.
Israel, which is under threat and continuous suicidal attacks by not only Palestinian radicals as well as other neighboring religious radicals. Which, by right, has forced Israel to adopt a perfidious defensive foreign policy. Which has been enacted, for the safety of the citizens of Israel from relentless threats.
Israel is the only nation in this world that is under constant threat from its neighbors. It is the only 'western' democracy in the Middle East with interests in the global markets. It retains a fairly accepting and religiously-speaking, moderate policy regarding those working in Israel proper.
Its policy hasn't been 'clean' and 'blood-proof' when dealing with Palestine.
The same can be seen in PLO-controlled West Bank and Gaza Strip. Illiteracy and malcontent has grown in Palestine and hate remarks and hate speeches from radical islamofascists in Iran as well as in Saudi has only instilled the deep divide between Israel and its neighbors.
As devastating as the loss of human life is, in regards to the Palestinians in these photos, one should not be quick to judge an entire people, the Jewish people, for the actions of the military. The Israeli Military completes its task according to the given power it is entitled by the law under the auspices of the Israeli Government. For the preservation of the state of Israel and for the protection of the Israeli people and inhabitants within its territorial jurisdiction.
I feel it was rather unbecoming for Buwadsanga to make such trite comments on the whole of Jewish people. And I apologize on behalf of Buwadsanga. As not all Jewish people are responsible for the deaths of Arabs, per se Palestinians. The Jews are a peaceful people, and one that have developed a fine mastery of economic policy and manifested their mastery in making a 'paradise' out of deserts.
Case in point, prior to the establishment of the state of Israel, the Holy Land was a barren waste land. With little to no resources. No natural river and reservoir. After the 1947 and after the declaration of the State of Israel and subsequent wars (Arab-Israeli Wars) and after Israel's absolute victory against the Arab states that threatened its existence, made it policy to develop the land of ISRAEL. 60 years later, Israel has been a light compared to the rest of the middle east. It is a financial leader of the world, in its gardens and valleys, which are all green and irrigated. In the valleys of Israel (where it once was barren desert before they arrived) are filled with green vineyards. Its people are prosperous, despite the looming threats of its enemies.
Yet it is sustained.

Why is this so?
Simple answer: Because Israel and the Jewish people ARE the chosen people of ALMIGHTY GOD.
The Voice of the Lord declares:
"At that time, says the LORD, I will be the God of all the tribes of Israel, and they shall be my people.
Thus says the LORD: The people that escaped the sword have found favor in the desert. As Israel comes forward to be given his rest,
the LORD appears to him from afar: With age-old love I have loved you; so I have kept my mercy toward you.
Again I will restore you, and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin Israel; Carrying your festive tambourines, you shall go forth dancing with the merrymakers."
--Jeremiah 31: 1-6
and again, The Lord God declares from His Mouth, which is the bread of life,
"The days are coming, says the LORD, when I will seed the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast.
As I once watched over them to uproot and pull down, to destroy, to ruin, and to harm, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the LORD.
In those days they shall no longer say, "The fathers ate unripe grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge,"
But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
--Jeremiah 31:27-31
