Look into any major war in human history. This is just modern and highly covered. Its horrific and terrible but completely in line with historical war. Civilians are fodder for casualty numbers. Believing/preaching this is different from other war action in the past (atrocities/crimes/whatever) is ignorance or performative. It’s always been horrific and always will be. Carthage, moguls, every dark ages seige, Dresden, Tokyo firebombings, Japanese nuclear bombs, My Lai, Kosovo, Darfur, North Korean bombings, Iran-Iraq war(1980s), Yugoslavia bombings (1999), battle of Grozny. I could go on for literal pages. This isn’t an individual country thing its a human thing and until thats accepted and addressed it’ll never stop.

It isn’t different, but some sides commit more atrocities than the other and that will get a stronger reaction.
Or in some cases, shame for being on the side committing more atrocities.
