I know I said I'll ignore you, but this comment is so twisted I have to reply.

Israel protects its civilians in shelters and by this self defence military action. That is why Israel has few (relatively) civilian casualties. Israel also tries to avoid Palestinian casualties as well.

If Hamas had tried to match what Israel is doing you would see fewer civilian casualties on their side too. Sadly, Hamas doesn't try to match what Israel is doing. On the contrary, Hamas tries to increase Israeli civilian casualties and cynically using its own people as human shields instead of protecting them (by building shelters instead of weapon depots for example).
