Netanyahu critics adopt Netanyahu tactics against ISIS

Moderators, this involves obama, europeans, ISIS and Israel so I put it here but it may belong somewhere else.
Just a few weeks ago, and you can read people from this forum on the topic as well, the left universally condemned Israel for indiscrimant, non proportional bombing against Hamas.
Now the left with obama is using the Likud Netanyahu tactic themselves against ISIS. More children will surely be killed and the proportion of US death to Arab death will be orders of magnitude higher than the Israel War, so perhaps the leftists, particularly the ones who have commented on this forum can explain why they like indiscriminate disproportional killing for themselves but no Israel. I look forward to your comments.
But I also would like to hear from those of you who still seem to think of yourselves as holding the intellectual high ground what you like about obama's strategy or if you don't like it why you aren't protesting like the Israeli action, and perhaps what you would do in this situation.
I am going to weigh in on the topic but will give you all the chance first.

ISIS is America's Hamas and it is hypocritical to condone the United States' actions to defeat the Islamic State (ISIS) while criticizing Israel for doing the same with Hamas, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said Friday on Newsmax TV's "America's Forum."
"ISIS is an extremist Islamist organization that doesn't play by the rules, has prepared to behead Americans, smuggle Americans and Europeans into America with evil intentions on their mind," Dershowitz said. "The only difference is, ISIS is much further away from the United States than Hamas is from Israel, but they use the same tactics."
Soon, he predicted, ISIS will adopt Hamas' strategy of using innocent civilians as shields.
"They have captured a lot of hostages, innocent people, and they are going to start embedding their soldiers, their fighters, among these hostages," said Dershowitz. "Instead of beheading Americans, they are going to take Americans, hold them in front of their soldiers and say you can't get at us unless you're prepared to kill innocent civilians, which is exactly what Hamas has been doing for the last 10 years."
