Here’s an interesting question in light of current world events, “What terrorist organization was responsible for the most number of American deaths prior to the 9/11 attacks?” A tough question and the answer might surprise you.J. Cofer Black, the U.S Department of State Coordinator for Counterterrorism from 2002-2004, gives the answer. He was at a press conference in 2004 when asked by an A.P. reporter about the greatest international terror threat. His answer
Thank you very much. The answer to your question is in particular from the American perspective, if I can be allowed that. Before 9/11 the terrorist group that had killed more Americans actually was Hezbollah and with the catastrophic attacks of 9/11 Al-Qaeda moved up in that deplorable category as having killed more Americans.
Lest we forget, the folks fought by the Israelis today are the same folks who gave us 241 dead Marines in Beirut and who also killed 63 destroying our embassy there in 1983. They killed 2 U.S. servicemen in another attack on the embassy there in 1984. This is the same Hezbollah that killed Colonel William Higgins and CIA Station Chief William Buckley and other Americans in Lebanon during the 1980s, and who kidnapped many more. And these are the same folks who hijacked TWA flight 847 in 1985, and dumped Navy diver Robert Stetham's dead body on the airport runway.
There is only one proper position for American patriots to take on Israel's actions against Hezbollah today -- unequivocal support as it seeks to root out and destroy the terrorists of the "Party of Allah".

you might read Pat Buchanan's tome covering
the era in which he proves Germany was no threat to America and that the European powers and
Russia would have fought to a standstill if we
had remained neutral.
The desperation and anarchy at the very end of the unconditional surrender demand placed on Germany during which the bulk of Jews perished from unplanned starvation and disease would of course not have occured. Germany would have, I suppose,continued its decade-long attempts to
find another home for its Jewish population for its policy was deportation,not extermination.
This is the "functionalist" account of Jewish losses in the German war sphere advanced by historians like Arner of Princeton.
