Why is the killing of 21 Israelis a "massacre" but the killing of 52 Palestinians not a "massacre" ?

because these palestinians, most of them at least, were militants who died fighting. by their own admission, they tried to lure israeli soldiers into a trap in a small area of the camp. the militants suceeded in luring the troops but in the process lost many of their fighters. the difference between israel and the palestinians is israel never intentionally targets non-combatants. the palestinians do. there's a difference between a soldier and a palestinian militant fighting with their own weapons and a palestinian terrorist who straps a bomb on himself or herself to blow up infants and children in a restaurant or a cafe or a crowded bus.
