Just pointing out the hypocaust of accusing Israel of not slowing down attacks on terrorists while going out of their way to avoid civilians when it was England that destroyed whole cities not trying to avoid civilian centers.

Actually, Goebbels, a paleo-Nazi, originally inflated the Dresden fatality totals, by about a factor of ten. (Most of the fatalities were due to poorly improvised air raid shelters, btw.) The Soviets found that the Nazi lie served their purposes, so they perpetuated it.

Goebbels merely took the original Dresden police reports and multiplied by ten. After the fall of East Germany, the German government commissioned a study, which revealed the deception, and attributed the still high fatalities to Nazi air raid shelters, basically, the basements of apartment buildings, with single exits easily blocked by rubble. People who remained in their homes and stayed in the streets when their homes caught fire had much higher survival rates.
