Unlike Gaza, no one wept and wailed for the 3,000,000 civilians killed in Nazi Germany by allied bombings, or for the 200.000 Japanese civilians killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki by two American A-bombs
Is all that weeping and wailing going on for the deaths of 30, 000 Gazans because it's Jews that killed them?

Dresden, Germany after the bombing that killed 35,000 people
Every day the media is full of weeping and wailing for the 30,00 civilians killed by the Israelis in Gaza. On Sunday, during an appearance on MSNBC, President Biden exclaimed "You cannot have 30,000 more Palestinians dead."
That's now. But a look at World War II seems in order.
The allied bombings of Nazi Germany killed 3,000,000 civilians. In just the city of Dresden, 35,000 people were killed.
Hiroshima, Japan after the atomic bomb that killed 80,000 people instantly
In Japan, up to 900,000 civilians were killed by American bombings. In just the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, up to 210,000 people were killed instantly by two A-bombs.
There was no weeping and wailing for the German and Japanese civilians killed during World War II.
And those bombings deliberately targeted the civilians in the hope they would demoralize people to the extent that Germany and Japan would surrender. But there were no calls for charging the allies with Crimes Against Humanity as there are now against Israel.
Israel is not deliberately targeting the civilians in Gaza. Instead, the IDF has been taking extraordinary steps to keep the civilian death toll down. But because Hamas is using the civilians as human shields, they are bound to be killed as Israel attempts to win a decisive victory over the terrorists.
I can't help but feel that all the weeping and wailing going on for the deaths of 30, 000 Gazans is mainly because it's Jews that killed them.
Please spare me the tears for the 30,00 Gazans already killed and those yet to be killed as Israel fights for its survival. Several thousand Gaza civilians accompanied the Hamas invaders of Israel on October 7 and participated in the atrocities committed against Israeli civilians. And as for the Gazans who stayed home, they cheered and celebrated the unspeakable suffering of innocent Israelis at the hands of Hamas and Gaza civilians.
That's why, unlike Biden, 30,000 more Palestinians dead sounds good to me.
If you elect to support a government of terrorists and that government of terrorists attacks their neighbor, which has a competent military, you have to expect some push-back. Betting that your neighbor will NOT attack is not all that smart, or reliable. As I recall before Pearl Harbor the Japanese hoped to hit the U. S. so hard at the start that they would simply fold up and not retaliate, at least not effectively. Not a really smart calculation. Something about "waking a sleeping giant and filling him with a terrible resolve" if memory serves. The state of Israel might not be a giant, and IMHO they are certainly capable of being terrible if push comes to shove. In my experience Jews are not that hard to get along with if you leave them the fuck alone.
