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.

Entirely the fault of Hamas and the Palestinians that elected them.
PLEASE Freepers . . . talk this shit up.
Israel is probably the most careful of ANY nation EVER, responding to ... THEY WERE ATTACKED FIRST !
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.
ISRAEL WAS ATTACKED AND THEY ARE NOW KICKIN' HAMAS' ASS INTO OBLIVION !
Good
“Israel’s military campaign in Gaza seen as among the most destructive in history”
It’s a good start. Also, there are no “civilians” in Gaza.
The headline says “in history”.
I guess these “experts” have never heard of Carthage.
I wish. More, please.
Burn and bomb it into oblivion.
These are clearly no experts. So what are they really?
More destructive than what happened in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Nanking? Ok, then Gaza should be nuked and IDF soldiers should bayonet babies to be less destructive. Drama queens.
Ghenghis Khan anyone?
American Pravda
Hamas must be destroyed.
As Rome did Carthage.
Good….
You don't expect "journalists" to actually know any history, do you? According to them, those were "mostly peaceful, but fiery" protests.
As long as you were born yesterday.
This entire article is utter bullshit false.
A few examples from just WWII of cities utterly or mostly destroyed. But sure, Gaza is the worst ever:
Tokyo, Japan: Over 7 million (1945); estimated deaths: 100,000-200,000 in the Tokyo firebombing.
Berlin, Germany: Around 4.3 million (1939); estimated deaths: 20,000-50,000 during the Battle of Berlin alone.
Hamburg, Germany: Around 1.7 million (1939); estimated deaths: 42,600 in the bombing of Hamburg.
Warsaw, Poland: About 1.3 million (pre-war); estimated deaths: 200,000 (Warsaw Uprising).
Cologne (Köln), Germany: Over 700,000 (pre-war); estimated deaths: 20,000.
Dresden, Germany: Approximately 600,000 (1945); estimated deaths: 25,000-35,000 in the bombing of Dresden.
Manila, Philippines: Estimated 600,000 (pre-war); estimated deaths: 100,000 (Battle of Manila).
Essen, Germany: Significant population; estimated deaths: not readily available.
Dortmund, Germany: Significant population; estimated deaths: not readily available.
Duisburg, Germany: Significant population; estimated deaths: not readily available
.
Bochum, Germany: Significant population; estimated deaths: not readily available.
Gelsenkirchen, Germany: Significant population; estimated deaths: not readily available.
Singapore: Estimated 550,000 (pre-war); estimated deaths: not readily available.
Nanjing, China: Estimated 500,000 (pre-war); estimated deaths: 200,000-300,000 (Nanjing Massacre).
Shanghai, China: Several million (pre-war); estimated deaths: not readily available.
Chongqing, China: Estimated 1 million (pre-war); estimated deaths: tens of thousands in bombings.
Hiroshima, Japan: About 350,000 (1945); estimated deaths: 90,000-146,000 (atomic bombing).
Nagasaki, Japan: Around 260,000 (1945); estimated deaths: 60,000-80,000 (atomic bombing).
Coventry, United Kingdom: Just over 200,000 (pre-war); estimated deaths: 1,200 in the Coventry Blitz.
Guess Hamas shouldn’t have attacked Israel on October 7. But the destruction will end when Hamas surrenders. Is AP calling on Hamas to surrender? I didn’t think so.
World War II, the last war we really won, showed that if you beat the everlasting snot out of the enemy, he tends to behave afterwards. Hasn’t been much trouble out of Japan, Germany, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria or Hungary since 1945.
It didn’t even take nukes in WW2. General LeMay and the 8th Air Force probably turned more acres of German cities into rubble than all the acres in Gaza, period. Then he started on Japan.
This news article is sheer antisemitic propaganda aimed at ignorant rubes.
I want to see them take back Solomon’s empire, from the River Euphrates to the Mediterranean Sea.
Good. Keep at it till the vermin are all gone
