and I don't really expect you to. You're hung up on a protect Israel at all costs mindset and have forgotten history.

You ignore the fact that lots of people have considered (and accused) the US of war crimes for both Dresden and Hiroshima. You've also forgotten the fact that both Hiroshima and Dresden were acts against countries that were fully at war. Germany had invaded both Poland, France and a lot of other countries. Japan landed (and taken) islands in Alaska (and taken American civilians as POWs).

I've already agreed with you that Israel needs to defend itself.

You know that I'm not a fan of Israel (I not a fan of any country that attacks us).
You know that both Saudia Arabia and others are also supporting Israels actions.

Just a thought: when your enemies are supporting your actions - perhaps it's time to re-evaluate your actions....maybe your helping them.
