As long as, Hammas refuses end the war they their equal responsibility for the deaths. During world war II, the Allies killed millions of civilians, The only critique I've ever heard of their actions in Europe was the bombing of Dresden.

Dresden drew particular attention because many considered the firebombing excessive. Likewise, the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki may have been excessive and done to make a point at the cost of up to 250,000 lives, and U.S. actions since then in Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, and Iraq can reasonably be seen as excessive. All of those have been widely critiqued. More of us now need to loudly critique Israel for not halting its war in Gaza, for unlawfully allowing Jewish settlements in the West Bank, for its unequal measures of justice for Palestinians and for Jews in the West Bank, and for unleashing random violence via exploding electronic devices that could end up anywhere, killing and wounding thousands.
