There were also horrific war crimes in WW2, including the bombing of civilians. War crimes are war crimes no matter who commits them.

I don't think it's really an appropriate comparison to make, but since you are making it, approximately 0.4% to 0.6% of Germans were killed by bombing in WW2.

The death toll in Gaza is already at 0.75% of the population, and growing.

a lot of them died in the interest of stopping them.

You are conflating innocent people with armed forces in this sentence. My point was that it is not the same "them".
