If they didn't at least try to avoid hitting civilians on we'd see completely different numbers of victims. The area is densely populated. If Israel wanted to or at least didn't care about hitting civilians we'd see what we saw in German cities in WW2: firestorms and without the bunkers and air defense that Germany had back then, that would mean tens or hundreds of thousands of deaths.

The numbers are simply prove that Israel is more or less telling the truth about what they do: They aim at terrorists and unfortunately have some collateral damage because these terrorists hide behind civilians.

Yes, the balance of power is one sided. Yes, they could kill the entire population. But they haven't. That proves that - unlike Hamas - Israel isn't interested in genocide. Because that is the difference here. Hamas wants to commit genocide. So of course I'm thankful that it's Israel and not Hamas with the power. Israel is no saint but the alternative is much, much worse.
