US Senator Lindsey Graham [R-South Carolina] has stated that “Israel” must do whatever needs to be done to win what he called its “existential” war with the Palestinian resistance, just like the United State was “justified” to disregard civilian casualties when it dropped nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII.
“When we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by bombing Hiroshima, Nagasaki, with nuclear weapons,” Graham said.
“So, ‘Israel’, do whatever you have to do to survive as a Jewish state. Whatever you have to do,” he added.
While Graham did not call for the use of actual nuclear weapons in Gaza, he made a similar controversial comparison during a subcommittee hearing earlier in the week, referring to “Israel’s” aggression on Gaza as “Hiroshima and Nagasaki on steroids.”
“Give ‘Israel’ the bombs they need to end the war they can’t afford to lose, and work with them to minimize casualties,” Graham said.
