I am not sure who on Tucker's staff wrote this for him but that is a lot of lies in one statement. Purposeful I am sure. Any reader can hit the
@grok button and ask true? See my article on the 2,000 pound bomb fallacies, why they are used in war to include by the U.S. today.
A Mark 84 does not destroy everything within half a mile. Yes, fragments can travel farther than the area where the point of impact occurs, but terrain, surrounding structures, and the circumstances of the explosion affect the extent of the blast. It also does not send out a sun-temperature wave that melts surrounding rock and vaporizes people at 100 feet. It is not a nuclear weapon. Yes, it can collapse apartment buildings and leave large craters, but a thirty-five-foot crater is not a standard result. Crater size depends on the factors of the structure/ground conditions of where the bomb detonates.
Dresden is not recognized as a war crime under the standards of World War II. Interesting choice of example tho as the city had about 560,000 residents in early 1945. A 250,000 civilians killed figure was devised by Joseph Goebbels’ ministry and pushed for decades, later recycled by David Irving. More than 50 years later, a historical commission put the death toll at 25,000.
The March 1945 Berlin raid was not “the largest American air raid of WWII.” Some people call it the largest U.S. raid on Berlin. A bigger American raid was Christmas Eve 1944, Eighth Air Force operation against targets in western Germany. Comparing that one day Berlin drop to a planned Israeli stockpile of 40,000 two-thousand-pound bombs is lazy, not a like for like measure of an attack. Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo did kill 80,000–100,000 people and is often called the most destructive single air raid in history, but the load was 1,665 tons of incendiaries, not “1,600 tons of bombs.” Different weapons, different effect. The 7.5% line only works if you treat an arms-sale inventory as if it were already dropped in one raid.
By no definition (words have meaning) has Israel done a genocide in Gaza. Not by the definition's intent or actions requirements. No actual evidence support the intent or actions allegation.
The government of Israel was in a war against the terror army of Hamas in Gaza after they invaded Israel on October 7th and withdrew into Gaza with 250 hostages; they were also at war with the terror army (more equipped than many nations) Hezbollah in Lebanon after they attack on October 8th.
Israel is not working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza or Lebenon. No evidence shows they have targeted civilians.
All of the Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iran fronts have contained buried and fortified targets that can justify the use of modern 2,000-pound bombs.
