they would feel if they Palestinian civilians.

Before the current Israeli attacks, the number of housing units in the Gaza and North Gaza governorates was estimated to be around 260,000. Euro-Med Monitor has documented that approximately 52,000 housing units are now destroyed or severely damaged by Israeli airstrikes.
According to documentation by Euro-Med Monitor, at least 4,079 Palestinians have been killed, including 1,413 children and 806 women, with approximately 3,420 civilians among the dead. More than 15,000 additional Palestinians have been injured in various ways, with more than half of them being children and women.

Obviously it would suck to be a Palestinian in Gaza even w/o the war. Average life expectancy of 18 FFS. Lack of food, water, power, medicine etc.
On the flipside, this is war.. and in what war are there no civilian casualties? Not sure if there's ever been one. Unfortunately for Palestinian civilians, their government is a terrorist organization hell bent on killing their Jewish neighbours.. so, with fine folks like that in power, this is what you get.
Yes, I've learned that once elected in 2005 hamas has never held another election.. and that 1/2 of the people they govern have been born since then and brought up with hamas propaganda/otherwise likely feel powerless to change their own government. So, really, in the end if hamas is completely wiped out it creates an opportunity for remaining Palestinian civilians to form a new government who's sole purpose isn't terrorist activities against Jews and then maybe they'll have nice things like an increasing life expectancy. Ideally hamas could be eliminated by a series of surgical strikes that Only killed hamas members, but we don't live in an ideal world and those f*****s are using child civilians as human shields -> apparently their headquarters is underneath a hospital (and that location has been known for years) because they're using doctors and patients as human shields.
So it seems that in order to eliminate hamas and liberate Palestinians there are going to be some unavoidable civilian casualties. Going to be difficult for survivors to forgive Israelis for those civilian deaths, but in a perfect world with hamas gone that would happen and those remaining would choose some form of live and let live peace with Israelis vs. forming another war party that will inevitably lead to more and more children dying.
