It's different because we say it's different

Quiz: what government issued this very French call for some Kerry-esque sensitivity and nuance with reference to another country's military operations amongst an Arab population?

On the situation in XXXX, there are ongoing military operations in XXXX. Obviously, we understand that YYYY has the right to defend itself. We've also noted with regret, reports of civilian casualties. We urge the Government of YYYY to take every measure to ensure that only proportional force is used to counter the threats it faces. We urge YYYY to avoid civilian casualties and minimize humanitarian consequences. These kinds of casualties can only make all of our efforts to achieve a durable peace more difficult.

Answer: Here. The French must have infiltrated the US State Department. XXXX is Gaza and YYYY is Israel.
