Intent to Kill

Laid out in considerable detail, this post explores what happened to the deceased Gaza activists.  This is an excellent example of a basic premise: if you want captives, send police; if you want corpses, send soldiers.  Their training is different, and you get what you pay for.

I do not consider Israel a civilized nation.  (I wish it would have been, but sheesh and baksheesh, Germany  is accruing beans faster on the civilized side of the scale.)  I sincerely wish that America would stop sending money there.  It is funding atrocities.  This costs America a lot of civilized beans.

I don't see any reason to believe that.

Germany WAS a civilized nation. What caused them to be what they are today was their utter shock and horror at realizing what they managed to become under Hitler. They took a good hard look at themselves and threw up a lot, and, in abject shame and horror, decided to be better.

German POWs weren't treated any better by Americans than American POWs were treated by Germans.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Much of initial post-war modern German art, by artists such as Joseph Beuys, reflect intense efforts to come to grips with a deep and crushing guilt.
