Just about everybody is good with violence against tangentially related targets as being fine to achieve a political or moral goal.
The government of the USA pretty much lives by that and does it all over the world
The government of Israel pretty much is a state religion of that
The Arab world is a state religion ruled by that principle
Everybody else is like "what do you mean there are people you shouldn't kill? We never got that memo."
Anyone on the "right wing" side that disagrees, had better go check their comment history for the past 30 years as our country killed or caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands or more to achieve various power and control goals (and make Israel happy). I'll bet most all of the comments from those "right wing" types are all about how they had it coming because they didn't overthrow their government for us and willingly install a puppet USA state.
Same as with the whole "business" the Israelis are doing in the Gaza strip, most on here are fine with however many civilians are killed or starved to death or such or forced into life threatening poverty, because "well they are a bunch of dirty arabs anyways".
It's just a matter of scale:
One on one: lots of folks get all upset and call it evil and wrong
Group on group: some folks get all upset and call it evil and wrong
Glorious armies of Uniforms on those evil other skin/race/religion types: hey it's the best thing and most patriotic and just thing ever.
It's just the way the world is the entire history of the world.
Most folks that wind up dying in struggles are folks that are not actual direct combatants or direct players in things.
The "glorious" war of WWII that so many "right wing folks" wax all lyrical about was actually one of the most savage of all wars in that regards and the "victors" were even more ruthless than the "losers" when it came to killing folks only extremely tangentially related, including direct attacks primarily on civilians.
