    Maybe we should do in Washington what they did in Nuremberg.

      The Nuremberg trials were way too lenient. Instead of establishing the death sentence for every accused right from the go as they should have done, it became a diplomatic battleground between the Allied Powers and the Soviets.

        That would involve having to actually set foot in the US. I don’t blame them for not wanting to do it.

      That is… not the threat that you think it is.

      I highly recommend watching Fantasies of Nuremberg. Be warned, it is extremely heavy to watch. But it is absolutely essential framing to keep in mind when talking about Genocide.

    Rebuild and create a stable government with the ultimate goal of a long term stable ally? Because yes they should but that ship feels like it may have sailed for a good long while.

    Oh no you mean what we did to Dresden and Hiroshima don’t you? Complete annihilation without regard for human suffering

    What they did in Tokyo? Drop 1600 tons of incendiary bombs, killing 100,000 civilians, destroying half the city, making a million people homeless? I’m pretty sure Israel is already emulating this strategy.

      I’d say he needs an electric cattle prod shoved up his ass, and connected to a wired power supply… but he might actually be into that.

      I do concur on the leaving office, though.

    How many IDF soldiers are killed per month? 1? 2? I’m not convinced Hamas hasn’t been essentially wiped out of Gaza.

        Trusting any information provided by the Israeli government is a mistake. Whether it’s higher or lower than the number listed, I wouldn’t trust them to tell me the number of finger on their hands

          Absolutely, but in this case it’s likely that (and I think I’ve seen reporting that) they’re undercounting the casualties. Also note that there are names and this is public information; for this information to be fake they’d need to fake the soldiers’ deaths and that’d be over the top even tor Israel.

        They claim 454 dead in combat in almost 2 years, so a bit less than 1 per day.
        Having looked closer, this years data also includes:

        • 2 combat death in the west bank
        • 2 non combat death in the west bank
        • 1 vehicle accidents near gaza
        • 1 vehicle accidents in the golan heights
        • 1 blown up at home by iran

        There are 85 combat death in 211 days. There is no information what combat death are friendly fire.
