JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military campaign in Gaza, experts say, now sits among the deadliest and most destructive in history.

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

My rankings of media’s success at trying to destroy America.
1. NPR/PBS
2. Local media
3. AP

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.

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.

The only things left standing after bombing Tokyo were drill presses.

Someone really doesn't know their WW2 history....or history in general.
