Israel isn’t killing 2 million Arabs in Gaza. Americans were fine with far worse bombing in World War 2.

I would argue they are likely the worlds least likely to do so baring a cataclysm mass destruction attack directed at them

Given they know how it feels to be in the receiving end

And have western sensibilities

And the IDF actually espouse a purity of arms doctrine publicly

“Americans were fine with far worse bombing in World War 2.”

People rarely pay attention to history unless it somehow involves themselves.

Dresden firebombing... 25,000 to 135,000 civilians killed depending on who does the counting.

Tokyo firebombing... 80,000 to 130,000 killed.

Hiroshima, 70,000 to 126,000 killed.

Nagasaki 60,000 to 80,000 killed.

Civil War historian James McPherson, no apologist for the CSA, estimates 50,000 Southern civilian deaths in the American Civil War.
