Would BBC Have Wanted Churchill to Warn Germany about Normandy?
(Daily Express-UK) Angela Epstein - After Israel's daring rescue mission to free four hostages carried into Gaza by Hamas monsters on Oct. 7, the focus has been on the number of Palestinians killed when a sovereign nation rescued its citizens. On June 6, 1944, 80 years ago, World War II took a critical turn towards liberating Nazi-occupied Europe with the D-Day landings. Some 20,000 civilians lost their lives during the allied campaign. However, the suffering of those caught in the crossfire is swallowed as the necessary price for achieving the greater good. Unfortunately, it appears that the mathematics of war don't occur where Israel is concerned. Would we have expected the allies to warn Germany before launching their Normandy landings? Is Israel the only country in the world which is expected to defend its people without regrettable but inevitable civilian cost?
