And 75 Years of the Hamas Attacking Israel. Israel has killed much more Palestinians that the other way around, but its still more complicated than The Ukraine war.

Ukraine has also been attacking russian troops since the beginning of the invasion, what's your point?

That highlights the point precisely. Ukraine is targeting Russian troops, i.e. legitimate military targets. Hamas targets civilians and uses civilians as human shields. The IDF doesnt care how many civilians they have to go through to get to Hamas.

Ukraine is targeting Russian troops

They also started sending unmanned air vehicles with explosives to Russian infrastructure such as oil. Which I'm not against. Because they're defending themselves against an invasion. As Palestine is doing. The situation of Palestinians is much, MUCH more dire than that of Ukrainians, so it's only to be expected (not to be confused with justified) that their response is also more violent.

uses civilians as human shields

Sorry, but that's strictly false, and propagating that shit is heinous. I'll paste here what someone else said in the comments:

So this piece doesn't source any evidence that it was used and ignores the literal fact that later investigations by Amnesty didn't find credible evidence of use as a military base and the massive Israeli misinformation campaign on that front: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_military_use_of_al-Shifa_hospital#:~:text=During%20the%20Israel%E2%80%93Hamas%20war,Hamas%20and%20hospital%20administrators%20denied.

But yeah let's justify Israel bombing away access to medical care to people forced into a small, war torn area because fuck Palestinians I guess.
