At the time, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were military cities, producing military hardware for the Japanese armies. They were military targets not civilian centers. Those two bombs could have killed a lot more civilians if we had targeted other cities.

If their hovel was bombed out, they were not Palestinian but Hamas. Most dwellings in Gaza are several steps above hovels and can be observed on Google earth as they existed in May 2022

I have concluded that in the event of a war crimes trial, video evidence of every bombed out Gazan structure can be presented along with proof it was Hamas controlled.

That is a talking point I hear constantly, Putin ins avoiding civilian casualties while razing cities in the front and launching ballistic missiles and drones into many cities away from the front, like Kiev

Does Gaza look like avdiivka or bakmut?

And if you say it’s okay because civilians left, that is not entirely true, and why haven’t Palestinians been welcomed into lebenon, Syria, and Egypt to escape the war?

“Inbred people have little capacity to think and understand some simple things like, moving trucks will not stop just because you get in front of them.“

Finally, the voice of reason! Just think of the nasty job of cleaning those mashed cockroaches off of the truck tires and tank treads. Your soulmates figured out a less nasty method of accomplishing your goals. Notice how filthy those inbred children are? Just send in the mobile Zyclon B shower trucks. Not that I’m saying regular decent people would have to deal with the putrid bodies. Just take some of those cockroaches out of the shower line, promise them a bag of flour for their children and let them clean up the mess before their “shower”.

In Dresden we targeted the military industrial infrastructure. The firestorm that resulted was unintentional. It killed a lot of civilians but they themselves were not targeted.

The smart bomb had yet to be invented.

Dropping bombs from 30,000 feet, they go where they go.

I did read it. It was written from the perspective of the Japanese. It doesn’t dispute the fact that Hiroshima was a military target.

In todays terms we don’t target civilians because we have the capability to do so, however in ww2 we did target civilian like carpet bombing cities. The is not an excuse, that was the times

There is a scene in a movie, can’t remember title where formation is bombing a factory and there is cloud cover and after running flak gauntlet, the lead says we have to come around again and look for opening in clouds there is a school next to factory. That is total BS, bombing accuracy back then meant bombs falling within square miles not sq feet.

Not being disparaging , but that was the reality back then, like fire bombing Tokyo. We would not do that today, Israelis are not doing that, Russians are to the best of their ability. Anyone who says Putin is going in soft is either misinformed or a troll

I’m surprised that the Israelis haven’t claimed that the soldiers feared that the starving Palestinians might eat them, and that’s why they were forced to shoot them. I know for a fact that if they had made such a claim the Israel First choir here would sing that song 24/7, just as they repeat everything the Israeli Propaganda Ministry churns out.

Carpet bombing cities to take out military infrastructure is by its nature going to take out a lot of civilians as well. But that doesn’t mean civilians were intentionally targeted.

Yes that is the point, ask Lebanon about what happened when they let in Palestinians the last time.

I have said this for years, if the Arabs wanted to solve the issue they could, they don’t want to, they want the issue, just like here in the US…..

Look around the Middle East, and see people of “Palestinian “‘descent, even generations later how they are treated.

In Israel, all citizens have equal rights, arab and Jew… name a country in the Middle East where that is also true, you cant

Lost in the atom bomb hype claiming 80,000 killed in Hiroshima is the fact that prior to that more than 100,000 were killed in the total destruction of Tokyo by B 29's

Where are your facts? Where are the dead Uke civilians? You dispute my source? Fine, look at ALL of the other sources, Russian, Western and independent. I’m chucking all of that because you spew your lies? Yeah, right. Don’t waste my time with your made up BS.

Again I think that is a distinction without a difference, targeted or not the planners knew there would be massive civilian casualties. Not condemning, that was the technology of the time and as the saying goes play stupid games get stupid prizes.
The German people were supportive of hitlers goals and actions just fine when the death and distraction was happening “over there”, the fact that it came home eventually is the way it works.

The difference today is we have the ability to target better and hit more accurately which reduces but does not eliminate collateral civilian harm

The Israelis are doing this, the Russians are not

So did the Israelis open fire or was it Hamas that usually grabs the major part of aid entering Gaza?

How did those thousands of murdered Palestinian infants and toddlers back Hamas? I have a two year old grandson. I’m pretty sure it might be difficult for him to shoot an IDF soldier or build a bomb to carry out a terrorist attack. As you and others continue to rationalize away killing ten thousand, and counting, Palestinian children you might tap the master of doing this statements. You can quote him verbatim rather than generalizing his statements the next time I post article crying and sniveling like an old women about these children’s deaths.

If there are starving children, maybe Egypt could open their border and let some in. We all know why nobody else is questioned.
