US senator: End Gaza war by giving Israel any bombs it needs

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has told a US broadcaster that the US was right to “end [WWII]” by dropping two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Now, he said, Israel must be given “the bombs they need to end the war they can’t afford to lose”, during an interview with NBC News that is being widely shared online.

Graham said, “I thought it was okay” when the US dropped the nuclear bombs on Japan.

“To Israel, do whatever you have to do to survive as a Jewish state.”

This comes after President Joe Biden decided to halt a shipment of thousands of some of the largest bombs in the US military arsenal due to urgent humanitarian concerns after Israel launched its ground invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza.




Sen. Bernie Sanders says 'Israel has broken international law' and 'American law': Full interview



Although the host doesn't understand you can't defeat Hamas militarily (only make them stronger) at least she lets Bernie Sanders speaks.

And as not all democrats nor all republicans are pro genocide, neither are all of Hamas. Then not all Palestinians stand behind Hamas (34% in support of Hamas) and most are not part of Hamas (less than 5%, 70K Public sector, estimated 30K Qassam Brigades).

Support for Hamas as a political party has fallen to 34% among Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, a 12-point drop from December 2023, according to a poll released Wednesday by a leading Palestinian research institute.  

While the war is eroding Palestinians’ view of Hamas as the governing body in Gaza, relative support remains high for the militant group’s role in the war. Seventy percent of Palestinians said they were “satisfied” with Hamas’ war performance, as compared to that of other Palestinian entities, like its political rival Fatah, whose deeply unpopular leader, Mahmoud Abbas, governs the West Bank.
