Israeli ambassador to the UK cites the firebombing of Dresden in 1945 (deliberate aerial incineration of civilian population centers by US and UK) as precedent for what Israel is about to do in Gaza 

Ah, the eternally brilliant value of WWII analogies:

"Chamberlain and Churchill were the two paths that Britain had... sometimes you need just to fight evil. This is the moment we are fighting pure evil. And the Americans know -- this is why they're projecting so much support" 

Jerusalem Post published an article October 9 by a crazed Rabbi citing the Torah to call for "the virtue of revenge." He demands that Israel inflict "widespread, indiscriminate destruction" on Palestinian cities and society, just like was done in Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki

On October 12, the former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett also indignantly cited Dresden as a precedent for what Israel is about to do in Gaza 

According to the Ambassador going around invoking Dresden as an example of the virtuous warfare Israel seeks to emulate, the entire “West” is under attack by Hamas. Whether it’s Bush/Iraq or Biden/Ukraine,these conflicts always seem to get dramatized into grand cosmic struggles.

"Without any military justification, Arthur “Bomber” Harris ordered Dresden bombed out of existence in 1945; a blatant war crime." Twitter
