#1 Wasn't the RAF's response, to indiscriminate German bombing just, payback indiscriminate bombing of Germany? See-Hamburg, Dresden. How militaristic are the Germans today?

#2 If the Israelis were truly interested in collective punishment, the entire Gaza strip would be a pile of smoking rubble. Instead, they have been careful to notify targets so that civilians can evacuate. As P2K pointed out, Dresden worked.

#7 A precisely proportional response would be to fire a few hundred artillery rockets into Gaza.

#8 Nick, suh, this not dueling, but rather war for Israel's survival. Maybe you should go back and read Churchill's "history of the Second World War" and see how real men protected their homeland.
