The US dropped two nukes on Japanese cities

2. are you referring to israel using nuc's?

Or just massive conventional assault?

Israel has been rumored to be considering using nuc's as a strategic option, but I think most people are misreading that as conventional surface weopons. It's actually most likely more of a bunker buster style of attack they are considering. A sub-surface detonation that is designed to knock out the tunnels and bunkers but not release a lot of radiation or cover a lot of surface area. It would still devastate the surface through ground effects, but more like a severe eathquake than a nuclear blast.

In any event, if you are talking about a conventional attack, I'm not sure the two examples are equivelant.

In Japan, without the nuclear bombs, there would still have been an invasion, and the cost incivilian lives overall would likely have been higher since it would have been spread out over a far greater area and impated many more population centers.

The allies had thousands of planes in the philipines ready to go on bombing runs. hundreds of thousands of troops were staged for assault. Japan would have been devastated far worse than just losing two cities.

That situation doesn't exist here. The moral equivelant isn't the same.
