>>Jean commented about the orders of magnitude difference in death toll on the Palestinian civilian side vs. the Israeli civilian side. I commented: "I am in agreement with you Jean. The destruction against the Palestinian civilian populace is beyond the pale.". My comment concerns the Palestinian civilian population. I don't see American media portraying Israel as scum. I am seeing a growing shock, or surprise, at the extent of destruction and death toll on the Palestinian side.

As I read it she wasn't calling Israelis scum. She was calling the people who regard bombing of civilians as a spectator sport to be enjoyed with a few drinks and some popcorn on high ground overlooking the Gaza strip and then threaten her for reporting on them scum> And I'd completely agree with her.
