I was reflecting on the Indian American Wars, and how the norm of civilizations clashing is usually throughout history Total War, in which ALL assets of either side are attacked, including women, children, infrastructure, philosophies, economies, etc.
This is horrifying, of course, but sadly completely normal. In WWII we firebombed Dresden and Tokyo and many others, incinerating hundreds of thousands to millions of “innocent” civilians.
This is the way of man. Would that it were not. But don’t go and get all appalled when starting a war (Germany, Japan, hamass) to find that it sucks on an unimaginable scale and then whine about it. 12% of Germans died and 4% of Japanese in WWII. In comparison, the whiny little brats supporting hamass are sure that it’s “genocide” when a mere 2.5% (according to hamass) have died in the war they started by raping little babies, girls and women so hard they broke their pelvises before shooting them dead in the vagina.
But for some reason, Hamas and its supporters seem to be winning the propaganda war that has followed. It’s very puzzling and very disappointing. Disgusting, actually.
John Fetterman (of all people) gets it. He might be the only one on his side of the aisle who does.
