On the nights of March 9–10 1945 16 square miles of central Tokyo was destroyed by U.S. bombing during WWII, leaving an estimated 100,000 civilians dead and over one million homeless. Japan did not surrender so the U.S. dropped atomic bombs and an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima, and a further 74,000 in Nagasaki were killed. From 1965 to 1968. 214 tons of bombs were dropped by the U.S. over Cambodia killing an estimated 50,000 people or more during the Vietnam War.
Hypocrisy could not be more obvious. If the United States is killing innocent civilians that is OK. If others do it that is a war crime. War is brutal. Israel is fighting for its survival. “From the River to the Sea” is a Palestinian slogan declaring their intention to destroy Israel and drive every Jew from that land. Israel’s goal to destroy Hamas is a worthy goal and must be accomplished to protect the State of Israel.
President Joe Biden’s call for a cease fire means a win for Hamas. Biden has lost my vote.
