Whataboutism doesn't take away from the horror we saw yesterday. The barbarity of the attack was atrocious, but worse still is that we absolutely know the retaliation is going to be a thousand fold more deadly. There needs to be an end, not constant justifications.

Whataboutism is a term used by people to distract others from their double standards.

No, it's a method people use to distract from a point that has been made instead of addressing the point made. It's possible to acknowledge a point, whether you agree or not and then separately make another point, but to simply try and move the conversation away from an uncomfortable reality is "whataboutism".
