Following this weekend's attack on Israel by Hamas, the Democratic Socialists of America have planned a march in New York City in "solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist 75 years of occupation and apartheid."

I apologize if my comments came across as directed towards you, they were intended to be a generalization of my experience in this thread.
Its probably true that this event was intended to crate a schism in the current attempts at civility. But it should have been recognized 70 years ago that there needed to be a normalization of relations. The west knew the history of the region before they placed Israel on the map.
Its a bit off topic but this goes around full circle to the "perceived" end of WWII and the occult/religous plans of Hitlers Nazi regime, i would be glad to discuss those topics but this thread isn't the place.
Muslim history is not as forgiving as to forget the ongoing crusades, so yes we ended up with another western/religious stronghold in the holy land. None of the players want peace to succeed so you will not get volunteers to help and root out this type of leadership, and yes, Egypt was the previous "occupier" of those lands
Unfortunately this leaves millions of people under systematic oppression by all sides, who would other wise be farmers or artisans but are forced by history to watch their families die and their cities under constant bombardment. Forced from their homes into the refugee / prison cities of Gaza.
I don't know that I could find such Images of specific Israeli brutality, I am not saying that they have done it, but Israel tightly controls everything coming in and out of that region, including media.
But I can and have been showing this whole thread, examples of what would cause any human to grow such a hatred in their hearts to commit such acts.
There is so much grief and angst and rage in the Palestinian population I fear your estimates are too generous. This is personal to them, its their friends and families, not just bad politics. Its the daily grind for work and food and water, things that most Brits and Americans take for granted, and it can all be cut off like the power.
That is the hypocracy. To sit so far away both physically and emotionally and tell people they are sick for wanting freedom for an oppressed people but they are the same ones who cry when there is talk about "thier rights" or gun control or taking away fast food...
Your comparison of the Japanese brings us right back to the "perceived" end of WWII

But this doesn’t excuse today’s behaviors like yesterday. You don’t see the types and scale of this behavior by Israel …. You just don’t.

This is very true, usually when the Israeli government strikes, they use high tech weaponry and don't have the need for such brutality. They do it from bunkers, miles away so they don't have to be "on location". They topple buildings on top of the one target hiding amongst civilians and destroy hospitals and schools, much like we see from Russian strikes
Edit to add: unlike Russia, Israel will wait to begin their incursion until they are sure of success. Ducks lined up in a row so to speak. It will be another shock and awe moment for the hearts and minds, and while hundreds, if not thousands of innocent people die, the world will cheer them on, because they will not see the carnage left behind.

I just don't know.
I can make suggestions and point out the atrocities from all sides all day long it does nothing to definitively answer any of your questions.
