There is no moral equivalency

On one side we have HAMAS, whose goal is to kill Jews (regardless of their age, combatant status etc) and destroy Israel.

On another side, we have Israel and IDF - they are not perfect but at least they are trying to minimize the harm to civilians:

“Civilians of Gaza City, evacuate south for your own safety and the safety of your families and distance yourself from Hamas terrorists who are using you as human shields,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. “In the following days, the IDF will continue to operate significantly in Gaza City and make extensive efforts to avoid harming civilians.”

Images on social media Friday showed that the IDF had dropped leaflets from planes into Gaza calling for the evacuation south. Live footage from news agencies earlier showed leaflets falling from the sky.

You may criticize IDF/Israel - but whoever is trying to paint them "as bad as HAMAS" is either doesn't know critical parts of the context or is willfully ignoring them.
