People aren't asking for a reciprocal death count from Israel, they want them to resist escalation.

> People don't want a reciprocal death count from Israel

Unfortunately, many people in this thread do want that

> they want them to resist escalation

I want Hamas to resist escalation too. Why has Hamas broken every ceasefire in history? Why does Hamas continue to fire rockets at civilian areas?

Hamas is one of hundreds of organized anti-Israel groups that exist in the Middle East. If we use every one of those as an excuse to treat civilians as collateral, then the murder of innocents never ends. Israel is the only country capable of standing down in this situation.
