BBC News Coverage of Israel-Palestine: David-Goliath?

Forget all this controversy about BBC's biased coverage of Israel-Palestine violence.  Let's just compare the damage. 

On the left:  Israeli home struck by Palestinian militant's rocket from Gaza. 
On the right: Gaza neighbourhood struck by Israeli bomb. 




Seems a bit much? Certainly not a measured response?  Perhaps not even a sane response? 

If there is such a huge David vs. Goliath contrast between the firepower of the two groups, I doubt if a balanced news channel would describe this as a "war" or "military response".  Sounds more like violent, barbaric slaughter.
