Thanks for the detailed assessment. Wouldn’t bombing concentration camps have caused massive innocent Jewish deaths too however?

Bombing the Concentration camps would indeed have killed a lot of prisoners but it would also have killed a lot of the camp's staff, command and facilities, mainly the gas chambers and crematoria. The idea would be to cripple the Nazi's ability to conduct mass-industrial killings on a daily basis and also put them on notice that we have these camps targeted, we know what is going on so stop it. All of this is fine, retrospective, armchair analysis.

“Show” camps were set up for the Red Cross and other Humanitarian organizations during WWII. This reminds me of the current Iranian BS cover ups leading the IAEA around various facilities to show the world that they are not building a bomb. An indifferent world is the same as it was in the 1930’s - they know what is going on but it is too inconvenient to face the reality, so they live in denial saying, it's not MY problem, it's the Israelis’ problem for now. This was the wrong approach in 1939 and it is wrong today. Iran's bomb is a world problem, not just BB Netanyahu's. Using a baseball analogy, will Obama step up to the plate? Is he even in the On-deck circle? Is he in the dugout? Dos he have bat or is he fondling the doughnut?
