This was written in August of 2024. Although it does not cover more recent events, it is still highly relevant for background in today’s ongoing battle in Gaza.

Before the war that began when Hamas brutally attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, Bahrain,
Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates were on the way of normalizing their
diplomaIc relations with Israel and Saudi Arabia seemed poised to do so. This has all been
derailed. Iran is the clear winner.

Before the beginning of WW-II, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Britain said in parliament that it was “against international law to bomb civilians as such and to make deliberate attacks on the civilian population.” U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt called civilian bombing “inhuman barbarism.” How cities and their populations during WW-II became military targets in violation of international conventions is explained in this essay.
In has been claimed that the high level of civilian deaths in the 2024 Gaza war is due to Israel dropping some five hundred 2000 pound “bunker busting bombs” in Gaza. It is shown hthat this is not the case.
The number of civilian deaths in Gaza is not exceptionally high in comparison with past wars, and the number would be significantly less if it were not for the well-known Hamas policy of deliberately placing military facilities in high population density areas.
