Sure, then my favorite war crime so far was the strike on the refugee camp. Only 5 civilians to get that Hamas target. Which is way better than 20.

Staging areas at camps.
Munitions storage at hospitals.
Tons of brainwashed cannon fodder to use.
But investigate them war crimes. See what The Hague does. Could give Israel, like so many others, some toilet paper to use.

The Preliminary Examination into Iraq/UK was initially terminated on 9 February 2006 and was re-opened on 13 May 2014 following receipt of new information. The preliminary examination focused on alleged crimes committed by United Kingdom nationals in the context of the Iraq conflict and occupation from 2003 to 2008, including murder, torture, and other forms of ill-treatment.

Richmond City Resolution and the people in London and everywhere else are like minded when it comes to war and so many civilians who have died.
So it comes out to about 350 dead per day in Gaza, and that is all categories. A big part of that number is the massive level of military resources Hamas has embedded in the civilian communities that Israel needs to get rid of. No matter what Israel does civilians will die because Hamas doesn't want them to leave and many agree with Hamas and so stay. When we initially see the airstrikes we are talking 4,000+ so that comes out to less than 2 people per strike civilians or Hamas.
What this means is either Israel is really bad at killing civilians or their attacks are so precise that either zero or a few people are actually killed in these huge blasts.
You and others should be more shocked at how few are actually dying in these attacks on military targets, but then this brings up the next big point. This is the maximum of deaths moving forward as the number of air attacks drops off, so this is the worst not some constant number you and other assume will be.

I don't have 'favourite' war crimes nor I will make conversations on what was the 'best' of all.
Whoever commits war crimes and crimes against humanity must be held accountable. If the International Community is unable to held accountable the countries or groups that committ war crimes then that's another issue for another discussion.
It looks like Richmond City Council are convinced that Israel is committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing.

I should be shocked at how few Palestinians have died so far. It could have been hundreds of thousands if Israel didn't have precision weapons...

Supposedly 70% of the world is demanding a ceasefire there.

It would be 100,000s if Israel was actually targeting civilians, or if they fought just like the Russians leveling whole towns indiscriminately using nonprecision 155 artillery.

Yes there have been several protests everywhere in the world with many asking for a ceasefire.

Half a million march for Gaza in London as peace demos take a stand across Britain
That was in response to the discussion made earlier about how people around the world have reacted to the war.

Still not answering the question. What should have been Israel’s response?
Have a come to Jesus moment. They where a stronger culture when setting up that place. If they set up a legal standard that treated everyone the same, things would be vastly different today. Instead they took a war policy and that is what they have got.
For those that want to make this mass sacrifice, it is going to stir things up everywhere, decent more into war. Does the world really have to put up with more of this again?

The red cross and doctors without borders are still reporting that most of the deaths in Gaza are women and children, and that the food/water/medicine/fuel situation is still 'dire', and many hospitals are no longer able to help people, so more people will be dying from lack of services.
Netanyahu said that they will get rid Hamas from the face of the Earth so this situation will end once and for all. Is this wishful thinking since Iran is backing them up and other terrorist groups. Even if they manage to take out Hamas terrorist nests will they be able to get rid of all of them, or will they flee, regroup and do it all over again at a later date?
Remember 'damn the torpedos" well this is 'damn the hostages'.
Do the Israeli leaders really believe this is a viable strategy to rid Hamas from the face of the Earth or just more occupation?
This is a very complex situation in the Middle East as it seems most countries there (and maybe others?) have a stake in promoting their ideologies, religions, and/or land grabs.

There has been discussion here about the number of dead Palestinians as numbers may not be precise. The fact that people are dying in their thousands day by day it doesn't seem to be of a problem. Many more die as time passes and nobody gets resurrected.
It is widely accepted by the UN, Amnesty International, Human Rights Lawyers, the Rec Cross and everyone who is on the ground that there are many thousands of deaths and most are women and children.

Not to further that some other members were arguing that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza... The same official line that Israel has.

Precise weapons and intel.
The Gaza Health Ministry said the death toll among Palestinians has passed 8,000, mostly women and minors. It's a toll without precedent in decades of Israeli-Palestinian violence.
