WAR IS HELL

By Howie Katz

 

 

The pictures showing the suffering of Gaza civilians, especially little children, are heart breaking.  

Israel and Hamas are in a war that Hamas started, and war is hell.

But before Israel is accused of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, a look at World War II is in order.

The carpet bombing of German cities by the United States and Great Britain killed about 450,000 civilian men, women and children and injured another 12,400,000.

 

The wreckage of Dresden in which up to 25,000 civilians were killed

 

The purpose of the carpet bombings was not to destroy military and industrial sites, but to demoralize the German people.

The United States and Great Britain were not charged with War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. 

And then there were the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
