Nobody said that about the Germans during WW2, so I guess the disagreement is how bad the Hamas guys are.
And also we can't let them prove themselves to be as bad as the Nazis (if we start comparing numbers), it's about preventing it.
Nobody said what?
That the Allies shouldn't attack Germany because there would be too many civilian casualties. Same with Japan.
Oh no. The lesson from the Second World War was that it must not repeated. It is not supposed to be used as a justification for committing war crimes against civilians.
Hmm. I believe some people did, and specifically the incident that most comes to mind as analogous to what’s happening in Gaza is the bombing of Dresden and that of Hiroshima, which many many people said should not have been done.
