None of this has anything to do with Qana. The Israeli bombs killed dozens of children in Qana:

The bombing of Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all took place in the 1940s, not the 1930s. I could not have opposed them because I was not even born. In the 1930s and 1940s there were no "Peaceniks" because the Russians had not launched the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik, ( meaning "moon"). Hearing the new propaganda word,"PeaceNIK", reminded Americans of "Sputnik", keeping them frightened and unsympathetic. The US could not have "dropped the bombs two years earlier" because they did not exist. By the time the Manhattan project created a nuclear weapon, the US had already defeated Japan. The "estimate" of 1 million losses in an invasion of Japan is a modern invention meant to justify the use of the A bombs. Estimates at the time were no where near as high. The A bombs killed hundreds of thousands of people immediately, and untold numbers died from radiation effects months and years later.
