    Japan was completely blockaded, which is such a profound thing in war that it’s really all you need to defeat “nuking was necessary” arguments.

    And they were completely resource starved, another profoundly important detail of a war machine.

    And the fanaticism + “they will die to the last man, woman, and child” is grossly misrepresented in the context of nukes.

    But these details aren’t relevant to how Palestinians and the situation in Gaza is portrayed. No siree.

        They are saying that nuclear weapons weren’t justified considering they were already blockading the country.

        You seem to be thinking that they said nuclear weapons weren’t justified and neither was blockading.
