I'd just like to make... The way you characterized it, I think the best example of that I've come across during this specific conflict is John Kirby, the White House spokesman. I've named him Tears Tossed Her Own for a very good reason. When he's talking about Palestinian civilian deaths, war is hell, it's a fact of life, get used to it.
