"All animals are equal. Some animals are more equal than others." George Orwell

“Israel push to change laws of war. Israel's prime minister has instructed his government to draw up plans for a "world wide campaign" to lobby for changes in the international laws of war. The order from Binyamin Netanyahu follows a special cabinet meeting on Tuesday to discuss Israel's response to the UN's Goldstone report, which condemned Israel's actions during the 22-day war on Gaza earlier this year. The meeting also called for the formation of a special committee to deal with the international legal consequences of the report and the prospect Israeli officials could face war crimes trials abroad. The Israeli government contends international law needs to be amended in order to fight global terrorism……… The UN-backed Goldstone report – compiled by South African jurist Richard Goldstone - accuses Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes during last winter's war in Gaza, but is more critical of Israeli troops for "terrorising and targeting" civilians….…..” aljazeera

It won't work. Killing unarmed civilians is the same whether they are white or dark, whether done by Hamas or IDF, by right wing Islamists or by right wing Israelis.
