The majority of the Palestinian deaths are terrorists, that’s a good thing not a bad thing.
It proves Israel is making good on their mission to eradicate Hamas and it shows that they are taking measures to limit innocent civilian deaths in the process.
The only people pushing back against these good things are the terrorist apologists.
If you’re one of them, you are a problem.
Put your money where your mouth is and go to Gaza.
Pick up a weapon and fight for your ideals.
Go hide behind the civilians you say you care about.
They need more apologists like you for the evil cause.
The terrorists are replenishing their ranks and rearming during the ceasefire.
As soon as they run out of hostages the strikes will go on.
Hurry now, run along little terror roach.
The big Israeli boots will stomp you out of your misery in due time.
According to the independent Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, which is chaired by US emeritus law professor and former UN special rapporteur on Palestine, Richard Falk, the civilian death toll as of 20 November is 16,413, with nearly 34,000 injured. This would mean one in every 142 Palestinian civilians killed in a month and a half.

Collective punishment is a war crime by the way.
Even if this was true.....so what? What is anyone going to do...nothing... If the world is willing to do nothing to the other 100 much worse events why is this one special?

Israel has cast the deaths of civilians in the Gaza Strip as a regrettable but unavoidable part of modern conflict, pointing to the heavy human toll from military campaigns the United States itself once waged in Iraq and Syria
But a review of past conflicts and interviews with casualty and weapons experts suggest that Israel’s assault is different.
While wartime death tolls will never be exact, experts say that even a conservative reading of the casualty figures reported from Gaza shows that the pace of death during Israel’s campaign has few precedents in this century.
People are being killed in Gaza more quickly than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan
People are being killed in Gaza more quickly, they say, than in even the deadliest moments of US-led attacks in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.

Israel pounded targets in the crowded southern half of the Gaza Strip on Saturday and ordered more neighborhoods designated for attack to evacuate, driving up the death toll even as the United States and others urged it to do more to protect Gaza civilians a day after a truce collapsed.
At least 200 Palestinians have been killed since the fighting resumed Friday morning following the weeklong truce with the territory's ruling militant group Hamas, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza. Several homes were hit across Gaza on Saturday, with multiple casualties reported in a strike that flattened a multi-story building on the outskirts of Gaza City.

Collective punishment is indeed a war crime. No matter what others think on this site or elsewhere online. This one is the most recent event (recent conflict) and because is one of the most brutal ones it gets a lot of attention. And no, the world is willing to intervene when there are similar events.

I support Israel’s right to defend themselves and wipe out Hamas.
What’s the difference between Israel defending themselves and what the allies did in Dresden or Hamburg?

You mean Israel going in an offensive and killing thousands of innocent civilians in the name of self defense. That's very different to the right Israel has to defend itself.

It first BS to the whole thing about the world intervening... Second, it is BS to even suggest war crimes as nothing is ever pushed past complaining about it. Third, it is BS to just label what you feel towards Israel to justify your point. Explain to me what is collective punishment and how it fits here. You can cheery pick whoever supports your ideas, but in the end, Israel is focused on Hamas in a population that supports them, so there will be high-level collateral damage as people do not want to move to safe areas and just stay in the same spots as the terrorist.
Israel either goes after Hamas or not, that is the only two choices... There is no third one of attacking when there is only Hasmas in the location.
Gaza Civilians, Under Israeli Barrage, Are Being Killed at Historic Pace
Even a conservative assessment of the reported Gaza casualty figures shows that the rate of death during Israel’s assault has few precedents in this century, experts say
The South African government on Monday called on the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by mid-December.
Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said it would signal a "total failure" of global governance if the ICC does not do so.
"The world cannot simply stand by and watch. The global community needs to rise to stop this genocide now," said Ntshavheni.

You seem to be making one bogus argument after the other. Above you claimed that most Palestinians who have been killed are terrorists.... According to all evidence most killed are civilians. And that's not an act of self defense but revenge. You have been arguing for the destruction of Gaza just like a few others here and you have lost the moral argument and the arguments, generally speaking.

There is no military solution to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and that's more than obvious. There is only political solution as expressed numerous times by many US Officials and Politicians around the World who have condemned Israel for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
