GOP congressman calls for ‘nuking’ Gaza like US did to Japan
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.
“The only end of the conflict [in Gaza] is complete and total surrender by those who support Muslim terror,” Fine says.
“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.”
