Actions of Western democracies are usually subject to greater scrutiny. Indeed, the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism allowed for this: it says that it is antisemitism to hold Israel to a higher standard than other democracies - not than other nations altogether.
ISIS was defeated by a coalition including western democracies. Well over a thousand civilians died by US bombs alone.
The fact that it wasn't Americans on the ground but other Iraqis is a gigantic difference.
Oh, and there I thought the masses of dead civilians from air strikes were the point of contention. My bad.
