Did you know in less than seven weeks, the damage wrought on northern Gaza by Israeli bombs almost equals the years-long carpet bombing of German cities during World War 2?

A recent article by the Financial Times investigated the kinds of bombs used by the Israeli Defence Force, and the intensity that they have been raining down upon Gaza, killing at least 17,000 Palestinians.

Robert Pape, a US military historian, a professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, and author of ‘Bombing to Win’, a survey of 20th century bombing techniques, told @MEE that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza would go down as one of the heaviest conventional bombings without nuclear weapons.
