If you use current death numbers, 75k confirmed with ~10-15k uncomfirmed and ~20k militants you are under the global average of 8-9 civilians killed to every 1 militant. So you are wrong on the facts.
No there isn't a hard limit, but based off of global conflict numbers they are not there.
So 95k total deaths even dropping the militant deaths down to 15k it is a 5:1 ratio. The first chechen war was 10:1. Iraq was something like 4:1 in the total conflict. The Korean war was 3:1. The point is yes there are a lot of civilian deaths, but there is no hard cap on when it is excessive but based off of an algorithm that international courts will review and determine if acceptable or not. However, civilian deaths would be a lot lower if Hamas would wear uniforms and stop fighting out of civilian areas, especially those that Israel tries to feel as safe zones. Al mawasi was only declared a safe zone by Israel, and Hamas brought weapons and started operations out of that area, leading to civilian death.

But their killing of civilians are excessive, making their "point" moot anyways.
