The point would be better made if it clarified military vs. civilian casualties. It'd be hard to fault Israelis or Palestinians for killing the people that are shooting at them.
Another thing is that Israel has Iron Dome which has prevented deaths quite effectively so I think that needs to be accounted for when analyzing the data since it makes one side appear more aggressive from simple death counts.
This was sort of sad/pathetic from yesterday, ABC News says that the devastation caused by an Israeli guided missile is from a Hamas rocket.

This web site title is misleading: "Israel vs Gaza". It makes people think that each side is committed to kill as many people as they can. This is factually untrue. Israel has enough weaponry (even without using its nukes) to kill every single Gazan, so if their goal was to kill as many Gazan as possible, they'd be doing a terrible job. The goal of Israel is to kill terrorists hidden in the population that they use as human shield, Hamas even admits so themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTu-AUE9ycs
Is this a football match? Would it be a more interesting game if more Israelis died? That is the implication. It would be far better if no one died. Given that Hamas is trying to kill Israelis, per their own statements, it is very good that Israel is managing to defend itself pretty well. Meanwhile, as the Israeli airforce has made over 1000 aerial sorties against Gaza, either they are striving mightily to avoid killing people they shouldn't, or they are massively incompetent at their job.
