> Only one is still actively happening, and it's the one that's killed 20-60x as many civilians, depending on whose estimates you follow.
Firstly, I hope we can agree that estimates by the designated terrorist (and Iranian proxy militia) government of Gaza, Hamas, cannot be relied on.
Secondly, are you aware that 2 million German citizens were killed in WW2, versus only 70,000 UK citizens?
By your logic, should we have chastised the UK, prevented it winning the war (which Germany started), and allowed Germany to continue to invade its neighbours and exterminate Jewish people?
Israel disputes the proportion of civilians to some extent, but not that tens of thousands are dead. Last year: https://www.voanews.com/a/israel-publishes-new-civilian-deat... "Earlier this month, Israel's government offered its first estimate of the operation's death toll, saying its troops have killed 14,000 terrorists and 16,000 civilians." That's 10x what Hamas killed on Oct 7, and that's a year old estimate from an involved source with motivations to keep that number low.

In both cases, the counts indicate technological / logistical / war outcome differences. They don't automatically infer morality of those deaths, and comparing the era of saturation bombing to that of precision weaponry is pretty desperate of you.

It certainly indicates war outcome in both cases (Germany and Gaza). Both these antagonists started wars which they then lost.
One major logistical difference is the propensity of Hamas to use its citizens as human shields. It's on record calling on its citizens to "bare their chests" against Israel, as it is wise to the fact that the World is watching, and there are plenty of Westerners on the Left who would be useful idiots to the Hamas agenda (which is the annihilation of Israel, as stated in the Hamas Charter).
