JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military campaign in Gaza, experts say, now sits among the deadliest and most destructive in history. In just over two months, the offensive has wreaked more destruction than the razing of Syria’s Aleppo between 2012 and 2016, Ukraine’s Mariupol or, proportionally, the Allied bombing of Germany in World War II. It has killed more civilians than the U.S.-led coalition did in its three-year campaign against the Islamic State group.

These experts are worthless. Israel saved more civilian lives than any modern war in history. What country drops leaflets before they drop bombs?

An interesting book was published a while back that tells the story of Cave Rats, GIs who volunteered to clear out enemy caves in the Vietnam war. And in WW-II, in the Pacific theater, I think the preferred method of extermination in caves was the flamethrower.

Israel is conducting their retaliation with surgical precision and the Satanic wing (of the world) keeps trying to make Israel the bad guy in this.

Bingo! A perfectly stated description of Israeli operations and of the rightly named Satanic Wing comprised of the U.S., UK, UN, and the EU.

the offensive has wreaked more destruction than the razing of Syria’s Aleppo between 2012 and 2016, Probably a skirmish compared to the sack of Aleppo by Tamerlane in 1400. Afterwards, Tamerlane built a pyramid of 20,000 severed heads.

Was thinking along the same lines. I’d even add the Russians lost more in the early battles on the Eastern Front.
To: devere
The only things left standing after bombing Tokyo were drill presses.
