You're killing far, far more civilians than your enemy does (unless of course you now declared said civilians the enemy as well). You can't say that about any allied nation in WW2.
The same as what you already do when they surround themselves with Israeli citizens.
Israeli citizens generally live in places that Israel has control over. Doing "the same" would mean Israel should take over Gaza; when Gaza is under its control, it would then be able to keep Hamas from surrounding themselves with Gazans. I'm fairly sure you would not actually recommend that.
