Let me try to simplify this for you:
Hamas fires crude rockets on Israel. In 8 years they kill 20 people. They are the "little terrorists" . It doesn't justify it that most of Hamas are refugees whose land was stolen by Israel and who have for the past 60 years been prevented from returning to it contrary to UN resolutions or that they are under foreign military occupation. Terrorism is terrorism .
Israel attacks Gaza with white phosphorous bombs that burn civilians and other lethal weapons killing over 900 people including 250 children and injuring over 4000 people (over half of them are women and children) many of whom will die or be badly handicapped due to the nature of the weapons Israel uses indiscriminately. They are the "big terrorists". It doesn't justify it that they are fighting Hamas. Terrorism is terrorism.
