Got it. So, your stance is because the Japanese military invaded foreign countries and committed atrocities, God used the US to obliterate hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians which had nothing to do with it?
It makes me think of another extremist group of people who murder innocent men, women, and children who have nothing to do with their struggle... One obvious difference is that this other extremist group chants "Allahu Akbar" when they do their murdering.

Oh just STOP.
You can't shame me and manipulate me to go along with anything you have to say. I don't care what you think that I have to bend to you.
I'm just going to put you in God's hands. And if you're so concerned too as a Christian, wouldn't you have put me in God's hands as well? Because there is no one more powerful to change a Christian's mind, right?

As for changing your mind, it's not something I think I can do. I'd rather the Holy Spirit convict you of truth. I'm fallible.

Zechariah 12:3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. 4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the Lord. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.

Yes, I am surprised that Americans would consider that wrong, or murder. That is not how I understood Hiroshima. I don't consider the men that carried that act out murderers. But again, it's not my homeland.
Wait a minute. What America did with Hiroshima was self defense. Japan hit America first in a surprised attack. There are still bodies entombed today in Pearl Harbor. That is not what happened in Germany with the Holocaust. Germans should be against what happened, it was intended to be the genocide of the Jewish people. The two situations are not similar. What Hitler did he did from hate, it wasn't in "retaliation". Hiroshima was totally different and the two situations are not the same.
You are conflating world history and telling a different story, and I believe unfairly. I do not believe Hiroshima was evil, I believe it was self defense. The same with Japanese in camps. That was during war time, a time of great fear and confusion. Slavery, same as the Holocaust, that was done with intent and hate of a people.

Everyone loses without Jesus Christ. If you're asking which group of people do I think will come out on top between Israel and the Palestinians, then my belief is Israel will mop the floor with the Palestinians. I just pray they are extremely discriminate in their bombings/attacks as to limit the casualties of innocent Palestinians who don't support Hamas.
This makes me think of the Hindu and Muslim conflict after Britain India back the land. There were many conflicts and murders over territory. Thankfully, they stopped the fighting and agreed on dividing the land up and so Pakistan was born. I am curious how much credit we should attribute Gandhi for his role in brokering a resolution between the two conflicting sides.

The Americans who are responsible for nuking hundreds of thousands of civilians into oblivion were "just following orders". Nevertheless, no such consideration was given to Nazi officers who were "just following orders"... and rightfully so. War isn't an excuse to murder indiscriminately.
Yes, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor first. However, you make it sound as if Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and then we immediately used nukes on Japanese civilians out of "self-defense". The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was in Dec of 1941... We murdered the Japanese civilians in the latter stage of the war in Aug of 1945. The US wasn't in eminent danger... Germany had already surrendered in May of that year. While the war was ongoing, Japan was stubborn and foolish to not give up sooner (we can agree on this point)... but that doesn't mean we can murder their civilians because the leader of the country refused to surrender. That's not how this is supposed to work.
No, I'm using facts and applying it to your narrative to give further context. The winners of the war get to tell the narrative. It doesn't always mean they accurately and thoroughly tell that narrative.
