The German people under the Nazi regime went all out on total war showing no regard either for the enemy soldiers, civilians and in the face of defeat, their own population. Driven by a fanatical belief in their whiteness they brought their own country to utter disaster and killed millions of people in the process. I see exactly the same mindset in the Mullahs in Iran and their lackey Hamas. The blind fanatical hatred of Jewish people binds the two histories, Nazi and Islamic, together. Hamas does not want peace and would rather see all the Gazans dead than surrender its arms.
The reconstruction effort will have to be every bit a thorough as that in Germany after 1946.
