Total deaths in Gaza are 1/4 comparable numbers for total deaths in similar conflicts in recent memory, like Fallujah. Not to be flippant, but wars suck, and people die. I would rather that there not be a war, but Israel didn't ask for Oct 7th to happen, and I don't see how any other response would have worked. And just looking at the numbers, the IDF is actually doing far better than any other army in protecting civilians, given the dense urban war fighting conditions. At least as far as the numbers go.

This is factually incorrect, and even if it were true it's not exactly a great example for you to rest your case on.

According to who, Israel? Not according to the thousands of women and children they've murdered. Who likely far outnumber the number of militants they've killed.
