you can't put an equal sign on the two. Hamas committed horrible acts for genocidal reasons and subsequently vowed to do it again and again, multiple times in speeches of multiple Hamas leaders
Israel is trying to destroy Hamas to remove this threat. Hamas has embedded itself in civilian population, Hamas is not coming out to fight man to man in an open field
So, yes, as a result of the fact that Hamas is embedded in civilian areas, innocent people die in the fighting. But it's absurd to assign all the responsibility for this to Israel and zero to Hamas.
It's absurd to say Hamas committed an atrocity and Israel should do nothing to stop similar atrocities from happening in the future. And if you concede Israel has the right to defend itself, then how is it supposed to do that other than actually go after Hamas?
