Why are Israeli attacks on Palestinians defined as "OFFENSIVE?"while Palestinan attacks on Israelis are

Question

defined as 'violent or terrorist acts.'
Today, e.g. , "Israeli Tank fire kills l4-year old Palestinian boy in an OFFENSIVE move", and other news...The Israeli military has been pressing an "OFFENSIVE" in Gaza since June. OR "Israel to begin "OFFENSIVE" ground assault by bombing Gaza bridges" OR "more than 80 Palestinians killed in Israeli OFFENSIVE."

yet Palestinian responses to Israeli attacks, are classified as "violence" or "terrorist acts."
Killing is violence no matter who pulls a trigger, throws a stone, or rolls a tank into an occupied apartment.

And its all about land, or so we are led to believe.
Still, this conflict exists it appears, because Israel and Palestine each believes different versions of the same history regarding land rights. And so they fight like little chldren, and kill and maim and refuse to give in
Its ALL violence.
and please. No knee-jerk reactions. I'Im on NEITHER side.

I'm just curious about this very obvious play of words and definitions.

Answer 1

Israel is an artificially created state in the Middle East in Palestinian territory....Ever since its creation,in 1948 the Israelis are trying to take more land from the Arabs...And ever since then they are posing as victims...Everything they do is "self defense".Even if they kill one year old babies is still "self defense"...And the media doesn't help much...Every time Palestinians kill Israelis all has to be transformed into an international tragedy,while when it happens the other way around,is not an important enough news...
And also Israel has the full support of US,who protects it from every sanction against it.They have vetoed a lot of sanctions and condemnations on Israel.So as long as this happens Israel can do whatever it wants(killing innocent people) and still be the victim,while Palestinians,who are trying to defend themselves are "terrorists"...

Answer 2

because the Israelis are the ones in control of the area, thats what i think, but a very good question none the less
