More than 640 people have been killed and 2,800 others wounded in the 11-day operation, most of them civilians.
...
Fares Akram, a Gaza city
resident, told Al Jazeera there was "no safe place in Gaza" as "the
Israeli war planes don't stop dropping bombs and firing missiles into
Gaza".
Akram says his wife, who is nine-months pregnant, is living in fear
of going into labour both because of how dangerous it is to leave their
home and because "she knows hospitals in Gaza are in chaos".
He said that while Gazans appreciated demonstrations staged across
the Arab world in protest at Israel's actions in the Strip, most
believe that while the US backs the Israeli offensive the assault will
continue.
In addition, the humanitarian situation in Gaza – already poor
following the 18-month Israeli blockade of the strip that left the
territory desperately short of fuel, food and medical supplies – is
worsening.
John Ging, the head of Unrwa, said he was "shocked" by "the
brutality of the injuries" he had seen during a visit to the Shifa
hospital in Gaza.

No doubt that if the Canadians were daily firing explosive missiles at towns in Maine and upstate New York, the US would decide to just put up with it, understanding that the Canadians are simply expressing their well-justified frustrations.
Seriously, though, the Israeli military is clearly among the most moral in the world, while Hamas is among the most immoral. You are doing nothing more than echoing Hamas propaganda.
Hmmm. Yes. It is SO moral to continue to intentionally bomb women and children who are trapped and cannot flee, and to kill hundreds of innocent people after penning them in, surrounding them and cutting off aid for years.
Gaza is under siege by Israel and has been for decades. If you were under siege, you would fight back too. Your analogy is quite skewed.
The Israeli military, along with the USA military, is THE MOST immoral in the world - the bullies of the world. If only the rest of the world could/would do something to stand up to them to get them to stop bullying those who are helpless to stop them.
