These two in particular: https://www.barwypowstania.pl/photos/22 https://www.barwypowstania.pl/photos/51 and the world is stupid enough to repeat the endless cycle of violence.
Well, there is "never again" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_again ). It is up to us to decide if "never again" is a universal rule or "oh, but this time it is different".

They were going after key people like academics, engineers, doctors, artists first.
Yeah the Nazis had future plans for Poland. The idea was to make the entire country into illiterate slaves. A lot of people don't know that although what the Nazis did was obviously terrible it was nothing compared to what they wanted to do. Poland survived 60 years of communism. It would not have survived national socialism.

What did I say that's antisemitic? Ashkenazis aren't even Semitic and their factual history is just that.
Jewish communities in Europe trace their roots to Israel/Judea and the Roman expulsion and subsequent colonization. Israel nowadays is mostly non-Ashkenazi in any case, and is mostly composed of Jews ethnically cleansed from Arab countries following the 1948 war There's a widespread antisemitic conspiracy theory which links Ashkenazi to Khazars, but except being historically unsound, it echoes very ancient antisemiti…

Well for one thing there are still buildings in Berlin that were built before 1945 (“Altbau”) but the policy of IDF appears to be to make the strip entirely uninhabitable except by their terms. At least, that’s what independent satellite imagery studies would imply (90%+ buildings uninhabitable).

Unsure about that "policy" but was there anything going on recently - any sort of context?
To use the very example the grandparent comment gave as contrast, the advancing Russian army did not have a policy of making Berlin entirely uninhabitable - and if it did it was stopped through diplomatic means at the end of the war.

To expand on my usage of the word “imply”: the implication of destroying buildings to the point where independent satellite imagery analysis deems 90%+ off buildings uninhabitable would be that there is a policy of making that area entirely uninhabitable, whether explicit or implicit.

The idea that the allies restrained themselves to win the war is best underwood by considering Hiroshima or Dresden than whatever we can divine from the remaining pre war architecture in berlin. My point was that looking at what was happening. In berlin (or Hiroshima or Dresden) in 1945 without considering that those countries had done immediately prior is dumb.

Yes, interestingly you bring up the worst of the worst bombing campaigns of the allies, Hiroshima and Dresden, which were specifically not carried out as extermination campaigns against an entire peoples, rather the destruction of a city thanks to a misguided doctrine that declared aerial bombing would demoralize populations, still unsuccessfully in use today (spoiler: it does not demoralize, it radicalizes).
Maybe it’s best to compare Japan’s actions in China to Israel’s current actions in Gaza?

What did China do to deserve its rape and pillage at the hand of Japan?
