    I don't know if that is a joke or some of the most seriously anti semitic nonsense i have seen but either way it's bizarre

    Well they could have prepared a better defence and been, well...prepared? At the very least it was in abysmal failure of intelligence.
    I don't think the world is threatening Israel and by and large Israel has western support. Even some of the local Arab countries are strategically aligned.
    One of the articles was video of IDF acting up. The did what they did and their words and actions speak for themselves
    Thanks, I'll have a look.
    Now, now, just because an article says things that don't fall 100% into line with the Bibi approach it doesn't mean they are propaganda. You'll find dissent within Israel for the current approach, thus by definition not anti-Israel, and/or the antisemitic, bias.... Need articles supporting this or are you aware?

    Nope, each was a legitimate act of war against aggressor nations

    Do you condemn IDF for killing 50,000 palestinians in the last 6 months, yes or no, simple question?

    No. The population was Hamas responsibility, I blame them for this escalation, you should too.

    It's really as simple as that using your rules, which are abhorrent.

    I don't care much about what your relationship with Hitler might be, He wasn't involved in this conflict.

    Hitler was intricately involved in this conflict, what are you even on about . Hitler was the godfather when it comes to Zionist prosperity, even more so that Theodore Herzl

    Not a war crime. first of all, it was justified. the bombing of Hiroshima clearly saved lots of American lives and many Japanese lives. Most importantly, the US/Allies WON. war crimes are the lot of the side that loses.

    It was a war crime, possibly the second worst in history. I'm not surprised you defend those actions since you defend genocide in general i.e Gaza

    Hating and super hating by uninformed people is getting to be a national pastime. A bit more facts and less opinion would be helpful, but we are way past that now.
    So we will just have to ride it out until we blowup or we don't.

    Not even close. My late uncle was a naval officer on the USS Missouri. Before the bomb was dropped, engineers were modifying the triple A batteries on that ship (and others) because the USA had complete air superiority at the time and the fighter cover was more effective in wiping away the few kamikazes that were still around. The quad fifty HMGs and the 20 and 40MM guns were being set to provide firepower against land based opponents. US Intelligence knew that if an invasion of Japan was launched, thousands of women, children and elderly men would be sent to oppose the landings in human wave attacks-often armed with obsolete firearms, bayonets and spears. The Missouri and other heavy warships would have been deployed close to the shore so as to destroy those charges with the massive firepower that their anti aircraft guns would spit out. Most estimates indicated the US could lose at least 100,000 men invading Japan and up to a half million (which is almost as many as we lost in the entire war in both theaters) -some estimates right before the came in as high as 1.5 million total casualties for the US, while Japanese deaths would have been in the millions.

    That was an absolutely horrendous act - as was the fire bombing of Dresden.

    But, nobody believes it was genocide.

    Then why do you believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza?

    I believe Hiroshima was a far better act than trying to invade Japan, Dresden was far less a militarily necessary.
