I mean, even taking the IDF’s numbers, proportionally, the IDF has killed far more civilians than the Allies in WW2. The IDF’s estimate is that they’ve been killing 50% civilians and 50% combatants, while in WW2 the Western Allied count was about 10% civilians in Europe, and 33% civilians in Japan. However, the wars being fought are very different, so I find that a less compelling comparison than the sheer level of destruction leveled in such a short period of time.
