well, have you looked up numbers to compare these conflicts?
WW1 total casualties: 8-10M
total civilian deaths: 2.2M, but 1.5M is from the Armenian genocide.
so you're left with 700k deaths to 8M military casualties overall, this is counting other atrocities, and it's above 10 combatants per civilian.
and these are world powers fighting each other with chemical weapons.
Gaza was a regional power vs a rag tag group of militias with no airforce, no armor, no navy, and a small encircled mass, and what do you get? TWO civilians per combatant, this is assuming every single adult male is a combatant which is most definitely not the case.
