Israel acts with the most regard for life of all countries. It is most hesitant to do anything that would might put civilians at risk. Even guilty ones (ie, children who retrieve weapons are not shot). Israel has sent commandos instead of bombs, at great risk, because of its regard for life.
Saying, or implying, that Israel acts with casual disregard for human life is an awful slander and completely indefensible.
Also note there does exist fierce internal debate in Israel about life and collateral damage, so implying *casual* disregard is unforgivable.
