From the article:

“More than 51,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza since the conflict began, including more than 1,600 since Israel resumed airstrikes and ground operations on 18 March. The Gaza health ministry does not distinguish between combatants and civilians but has said more than half of those dead were women and children.”

Seems to me that religious people everywhere could come up with a more moral/ethical strategy than large scale indescriminate slaughter.
