Does Israel stand alone?

Something is seriously wrong with the world's governments and the antique media's reporting of the events in the middle east. To wit:
  • Hamas terrorists based in Gaza execute a raid on Israel, killing IDF soldiers and capturing one. Israel responds by moving into Gaza. Israel draws near-universal condemnation.
  • Hizballah terrorists based in Lebanon execute a raid on Israel, killing eight IDF soldiers and capturing two. Israel responds by hitting Hizballah targets in Lebanon. Israel draws near-universal condemnation.
  • Israel issues warnings and uses precision weapons to minimize collateral damage. Hizballah indiscriminately lobs Syrian missiles that spray ball bearings in every direction into population centers in an effort to maximize civilian casualties. Israel gets accused of using "banned weapons" against civilians.
See the pattern here? Does anybody else think something's wrong with this picture?

Im not so certain this time round that everyone is against Israel. I havent felt that here in the UK and the print media seems ok:
