GOP congressman calls for 'nuking' Gaza like US did to Japan

[David__77]

Freshman GOP Rep. Randy Fine calls for “nuking” Gaza in an interview on Fox News.

“The fact of the matter is the Palestinian cause is an evil one,” he says, following last night’s deadly shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers who were outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington where an American Jewish Committee event was being held.

…

“In world war two, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender,” he says. “That needs to be the same here. There is something deeply, deeply wrong with this culture, and it needs to be defeated.”

1. In Jan 2025 America surrendered to the Nazis and not a shot was fired.

Trump and many in Israel's government would go along with that.

2. Sickening

4. It is certainly genocidal incitement.

3. Just your opinion man..

5. That's effin' crazy. Even Israel wouldn't go for that.

There's nobody left to kill there except old men, women, and children, and Israel is doing a pretty good job of that without any of the radioactive mess.
Randy Fine should be forced to live there for the rest of his term to see what real human misery looks like.
Anyone with his mentality shouldn't have a position in the US government.
But then fascists are taking over the country, so I guess you'd have to expect Republican Congressmen to have a desire to kill even more people even more quickly.
Gotta clear the land for that Trump resort for the super rich.

6. Yes, the melted radioactive beach sand could be turned into a line of Trump-themed jewelry . . .

Great idea, Rep. Shitkicker.

7. The mega tonnage is being doled out incrementally

Bodies are still burning. Buildings are still turning to dust.

[Mountainguy]

8. He doesnt seem to be

Calling a literally dropping nuclear weapons. Hrs saying they need to be defeated, not negotiated with.

Very misleading headline.

I dont think anyone supporting Israel is interested in spreading nuclear fallout across most of Israel's agricultural land.

11. "We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here"

Seems pretty literal.

9. Repukes are always vying to see who can be the biggest asshole

[spanone]

10. Shit for brains.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

12. Pure insanity

I just don't see how these types of comments could fly in any other previous time.

[David__77]

13. Well, to be fair, the US really did nuke people.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

14. We were at war with Japan

We are not at war in Gaza

[David__77]

15. Oh, I understand.

Just pointing it out because I think many US policymakers don’t consider using nukes to somehow be off limits.

I think it’s arguable that the US actually is a party to the events in Gaza given the extensive military, logistical and diplomatic support it has provided.

All that said, Randy Fine is uniquely murderous and genocidal in his statements and ideology.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

17. Maybe

Maybe he's related to Larry?

[peggysue2]

16. Congressman Fine should resign

Immediately.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

18. It's not the Palestinian cause, it's a HAMAs. Hizbollah, Iranian cause you fucking imbecile.

[struggle4progress]

19. Crazy American gun-nut kills people so gop asshole wants mass murder of scapegoats

[Ping Tung]

20. Making Japan Great Again?..... see Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo in 1945 to see examples of our concern.

21. Well, that's a remarkably stupid suggestion, to say the least.

Here's a map of that region:

Note that major cities in Israel, like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are pretty close to the Gaza strip. Nuclear weapons do not just affect the immediate area where they detonate. You'd think a smart person who got elected to Congress would know that. I guess not.
