You don't have to be equivelant with every evil act committed by a person in order to lose protection from the wrath that will come from the ones that were perpetrated against. If you attempt to protect a murderer/rapist with genocidal intentions by giving your self up as a living shield, then you better be prepared to die.
But this is where you go off the rails. The people of Gaza are not making this choice. They're struggling to just exist.
