Let’s play it out differently. Maybe Israel, as the democratic and moral army, should announce exactly where they are entering Gaza street by street. Maybe the leaflets they are dropping warning Gazans to flee, should instead let Hamas know exactly where the IDF plans to sweep through in their search for terrorists. Many many more IDF soldiers will die, but at least they’re giving Hamas the benefit of the doubt. They deserve it after killing nearly 1500 Israelis in a cold blooded terrorist attack.
Forget about the fact that Hamas itself is not letting Gazans flee south. Yet somehow Israel is the one to blame here.
Where was the moral outrage during the battle of Mosul when thousands of civilians were being killed in the quest to get rid of ISIS?

There’s nothing idealistic or virtuous about pointing out the fact that you go into great detail to show how worthy of empathy an Israeli civilian death is while dismissing Palestinian civilian deaths as tragic but a simple cost of war.
Before handing out pamphlets, could Israel do something crazy like not cut off water and electricity? Perhaps they could ensure hospitals can treat the thousands of civilians their bombs are injuring, instead of keeping them handicapped for a handful of hostages.
Hamas is to blame. More so. But Israel is also to blame. Why do you believe that any criticism of Israel is excusing Hamas? And why do you lie and reframe every attempt to keep Palestinian civilians centred in this with Israeli civilians as silly things like “giving Hamas the benefit of the doubt”?
I assume it goes back to the difference in how you view Israeli civilians vs how you view Palestinian civilians?
