Which is why using Holocaust-based references as comparisons to what is happening in Gaza is obscene.
BTW, there are numerous other examples of war being waged where one-side suffers extraordinarily greater civilian loss of life than another. The US lost few if any civilians during the Vietnam and Korean conflicts (and certainly none in the US), while civilian loss of life on the other side was considerable. During WWII, there were 6 Americans who were killed by Japanese "balloon bombs" in Oregon while having a picnic and several dozen more that died during the Pearl Harbor attack. Some other civilians on islands occupied by the Japanese also were killed either in the fighting or as prisoners of the Japanese. But that number is still ridiculously low compared to the hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians killed by US bombs, including two atomic bombs.
