<That does not justify going out and killing as many as you can, as modern-day suicide bombers do.>

What does "as many as you can" mean? For example. Let's say Israel has killed 5,000. Palestinians have killed 500. Why you don't have a problem to a methodical killing of a few each day with 10x the total at the end, but you have a problem with many at one time but 1/10th the total at the end. Is it because it doesn't hit you all at once? Is it because the 4-8 numbers dead can be hidden in the back pages but the 25 can make the front pages so you get to se it? Why does it matter how they are killed? After all they are all innocent people, on both sides. Yet you seem to have the problem with the ones that are 1/10th as many and not have a problem with the one that kills 10x as much. Something terribly wrong with that picture. Can you help?
