Discussion Israel is bombing absolutely everything not just civilian homes.

just now a few members of the civil defense (ldife3 lmadane) got bombed while they were helping to clear up the rubble of a destroyed building. I’m still not sure how many people were there or got injured but what I do know is that the hezb are fighting human animals with absolutely no ounce of mercy or thinking in their minds, and whoever defends these acts in this subreddit is definitely not a Lebanese.

They didn't?? Pretty sure Germany surrendered unconditionally.

Yes, but not because their cities were being bombed.

This was the situation on May 1st. The day before, on April 30th, Hitler had just killed himself. The next day on May the 2nd Berlin would fall to the Soviets. In the few days after that forces in Italy, the Netherlands, North-Western Germany, and Denmark would individually surrender, before eventually German high command officially surrendered on the 8th of May.

They surrendered because they had lost the actual fighting. Not because the allies were bombing population centers.

I'm pretty sure the bombing contributed to their loss and realization that none of this was going to end well.

Nah. It's because their capital was about to be taken by the Soviets, and the west were more likely to be lenient to Nazis. Surrendering to them was preferable to capture by the Soviets. Civillians deaths played no fuckin role.
