"The intensive bombing and shelling of civilians in their homes and apartment blocks." - Guest Albert

"The demolition of Palestinian homes by the thousand." - Guest Albert

Albert, have you got even the vaguest inkling of what that would look like if indeed it were true?

How about this Guest Albert - this article mentions "intensive bombing of civilians in their homes":

Thousands Killed in Bombing Raids!

The Blitz was a campaign of intense bombing of not only London and Coventry but many other major cities and towns where factories and other key manufacturing industries were built. But because bombing was not accurate many of the bombs fell on streets and houses killing thousands of civilians and destroying hundreds of houses and other properties.

From the 7th September 1940 until 16th May 1941 the German Luftwaffe carried out an intensive bombing campaign on British cities and it's industries.

London was attacked on 57 consecutive nights between 7th September and the 2nd November with over one million bombs dropped in two months with further raids in December 1940 as well as from March to May 1941.

Fifteen other cities also suffered major bombing attacks such as Coventry, which caused widespread damage.

Over 41,000 civilians were killed during this period in Britain with a further 137.000 people reported injured.

Or alternatively look at Valetta in Malta a much smaller area with far poorer defences, it got hit three times worse than London for a far longer period.

If you want to see the results of "intensive bombing" Guest Albert have a look at this:

Intensive bombing and shelling of civilians in their homes for over a year eh Guest Albert. Any idea what the casualties have been Guest Albert? I mean they must number in the hundreds of thousands Guest Albert, intensive bombing and shelling for over a year, the place must be totally flattened like those pictures of Wesel in 1945.

Yet you know its odd Guest Albert, because I haven't read of anything remotely akin to what you describe, nobody's reported it, nobody's photographed it. Now how could this be Guest Albert? Or is it just a emotive load of complete and utter bollocks wrapped up in typical left-wing socialist exaggeration.
