A world war 80 some years ago where we did not have munitions that had pinpoint accuracy not to mention night vision, advanced optics, satellites, drones and a war that encompassed most of the world is the same as this small engagement and can be compared. Heck, we used nukes then, so by that logic nukes can be used again in this engagement since they are the same.

Sure, Eko Mar 27 #69

The point being that the Japanese struck at mostly military targets EX500rider Mar 27 #71

Huh, Eko Mar 27 #72

That was in the Japanese Chinese War EX500rider Mar 27 #73

That was a large part of WW2. Eko Mar 27 #74

The reason the US got into the war was Pearl Harbor, full stop EX500rider Mar 27 #92

After 75 years of conflict. . . Stargleamer Mar 27 #90

They don't have to kill all Gazan's EX500rider Mar 27 #91

The more Palestinian civilians see their families getting killed Stargleamer Mar 30 #113

So I guess that all the Gaza civilians at the food trucks who were gunned down DemocraticPatriot Mar 30 #116

Why did someone claim they were armed? EX500rider Mar 30 #119

By your logic, they must have been armed--- or the IDF wouldn't have killed them--- right? DemocraticPatriot Mar 30 #120

Urban warfare against un-uniformed opponents often results in civilian casualties EX500rider Mar 30 #121

Milosevic liked to say the same thing peppertree Mar 27 #21

it was not 1700 on Oct 7 Celerity Mar 27 #42

Yes, somehow the number killed on Oct. 7 keeps rising according to pro-Netanyahu poster.. brush Mar 27 #52

Are there pro Netanyahu posters here? Mossfern Mar 27 #53

No one is denying Israel's right to defend itself. But come on, over-retaliation is over-retaliation. brush Mar 27 #57

It's not retaliation... Mossfern Mar 27 #60

IMO it's over retaliation when 30,000 Palestinians are killed vs 1200 Israelis. brush Mar 27 #66

There is no such thing as a quota on retaliation - and this is NOT retaliation Mossfern Mar 27 #68

Stop ignoring that Netanyahu is a warmonger who wants the war to continue as long as possible... brush Mar 27 #77

Sorry for misstating the number of victims on Oct 7 Marthe48 Mar 27 #93

Bernie is right on womanofthehills Mar 27 #50

This slaughter is creating more terrorists than it is killing. TheRickles Mar 27 #8

Seems like Hamas had no problem recruiting sufficient terrorists before Oct 7 NickB79 Mar 27 #14
