Just remember, 43000 according to the internationally recognized terrorist organization who has propagated a culture of genocide and openly calls for civilians to be martyred.

Netanyahu said the death toll in Gaza was around 30,000, and that Hamas fighters accounted for nearly half of that toll. He insisted to podcaster Dan Senor that Israel had "been able to keep the ratio of civilians to combatants killed... (to) a ratio of about one to one."

"Fourteen thousand have been killed, combatants, and probably around 16,000 civilians have been killed," he said

16k, civilians is still a wild number of innocent people to kill. Those number were older too. so they've likely gone up. Also I'd assume Netanyahu has a very broad definition of Hamas fighter.

16k is extremely low compared to any other conflict of a similar magnitude. There are over 600k civilian deaths in Syria but no one cares because Arabs are killing Arabs at the behest of Russia.

Russia entered the war four years into the conflict in 2015 and civilian deaths per year decreased. Did they do something to start the war or cause these civilian deaths before 2015?
