re: #255 Teukka

I don’t know man, I feel like blaming the death toll on the lack of bomb shelters is the product of a bunker mentality and just represents more DARVO that avoids dealing with the reality on the ground. I mean when you’re dealing with more property destruction than Dresden most shelters just become mass tombs but props I guess on at least tacitly admitting that the IDF has dropped multiple nuclear bombs worth of ordinance on Gaza.

Three cities in Germany were effectively destroyed from the air during that war: Cologne, Hamburg and Dresden. In Hamburg and Dresden, a mix of high explosives and incendiary bombs created the notorious “firestorm” conditions that caused streets to melt.

Data analyzed by Scher and Van Den Hoek shows that by Dec. 5, the percentage of Gaza’s buildings that had been damaged or destroyed already had surpassed the destruction in Cologne and Dresden, and was approaching the level of Hamburg.

Also, bomb shelters don’t prevent famine, or the deliberate lies that lead to it.
