You make a good point, but the issue is still that Hamas seeks to kill Israeli civilians and seeks to increase Palestinian civilian deaths by hiding behind women & children. Their command bunker is under a hospital in Gaza.
Palestinians know that Israel tries to avoid killing civilians, I know this because they go up on the roofs to act as human shields secure in the knowledge that Israel will call off the bombing (80% called off) if there are people up there. In other words, Palestinians are betting their lives on the fact that Israel seeks to avoid killing civilians. There is no moral equivalent here.
