It seems you agree post 103 is true, and not actually moot, but rather irrelevant.

5. The Allies did not want to risk their own lives, to lay down their lives, to save Jewish victims and refugees.

Your point is a straw man -- a false choice. There was never a choice between a.) attacking strategic targets and winning the war or b.) attacking rail lines and saving Jews.

False; the allies picked their targets and objectives; they were not cast in stone. The Jews, and other Gentile civilian victims, were simply not a priority to the Allies.
