Some pictures don't lie
I don't know. What I do see is history repeating itself. Hitler came for the Jews, the world almost did nothing until forced and I sadly suspect that was from selfish interests, if they came for them will they come for us next? Then the world did respond after much trauma that could never be undone.
Europe then sends those Jewish back to Palestine to lands fought for centuries over. They draw lines saying this is your land and this is your land.
One country starts building walls. I can't say this, but if once I was held behind a wall and felt the isolation and tragedy, I could not then build my own wall keeping those away from me and others locked in how I have been.
Have you seen the pictures of Gaza recently? There's nothing left. Generations of families who never really were part of any war, losing their children. While the US and Isreal promotes displacing them?
History definitely repeats

I would venture to say that the destruction was more thorough and more indiscriminate in Germany during WW2, especially in the fire-stormed cities of Hamburg and Dresden.
Here is a picture of Cologne, where it seems the only building left standing was the cathedral, either by a miracle, or for a more mundane reason that it was used as an orientation landmark by the bombers.

@Thinkerbell Now the question wasn't about those German cities. It was about Berlin because, as you might know, the cities that you mentioned there were selected targets. They were amongst other criteria still towns with a lot of wooden houses. That makes those cities totally not comparable

I think war is war, wherever it happens, and the results are pretty much always the same -- death, destruction, misery, and suffering. :(

@jshm2 I'm not ready or able to respond who thinks of this as laughing, so no comment.
