What if a man killed a woman somewhere in India?
What if your brother killed a woman?
Would you have an equal reaction for both?
Also, we cannot force barbarian countries to change: we can force them to stop one thing in particular but they will remain barbarians who will behave like barbarians in the end. And all of barbarian countries will think they are damn right.
Which country should be taken as the role model to follow?
If you want to take a model, yes, modern France, or Spain, or Germany, or UK, or about every other Western country are models for Israel. By a great margin.
Are you really trying to argue the idea that Israel, a country that kills thousands of innocents every year, continue its territorial conquest, massively relocate people based on racial grounds while enforcing racial laws, and enclose most of Arabs in giant detention camps (Ghaza, Ramallah, etc), is no worse than other Western countries? No being gifted with reason can believe this.
What about France, which enabled the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda 21 years ago?
a) France have had public and private military contracts with Rwanda for decades before the genocide.
b) Public and big private contracts were all canceled two days after the genocide started, at a time it was only suspected and not confirmed.
c) In the following weeks all remaining private contracts were terminated and illegal smuggling (not specific to France) was fought and halted.
d) Then, later, when the FPR started to commit mass slaughters (they killed 7M people), we resumed shippings to help one evil fight the other.
Our only crime is to not have foresaw the future and been omniscient, and a general lack of caution. At this rate the most honest arm dealer in the world should be considered responsible for all sot of crimes.
