In less than 6 months, Israel has racked up about 30-40% of the civilian death toll that the US managed in 20 years post-9/11, and in that time the US managed to kill more enemy combatants than civilians, while I'm not sure Israel's even broken triple digits yet. To equivocate what were largely accidents (albeit careless accidents for which the US deserves ample criticism) to what Israel is doing now is either staggeringly ignorant or a deliberate pro-genocide statement. Take your pick.

Israel has lost ~ 600 IDF soldiers thus far in <6 months of fighting.
America lost 2459 military deaths in two decades in Afghanistan.
Israel has racked up 25% of the combat death toll that the US managed in 20 years in Afghanistan, in less than 6 months.

Weird how you only like to compare figures when you think it'll help your case and ignore the rest.
It's almost like urban combat in one of the most densely populated regions on Earth w/ enemies that hide amongst the civilian population is really fucking difficult.
At least in Afghanistan the enemy was mostly relegated to isolated caves/mountains and not 100% embedded in the urban populace.

And implying Israel "hasn't even broken triple digits yet" for enemy combatants is either staggeringly ignorant or a deliberate pro-Hamas statement. Take your pick.
