Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Tuesday that there should be “no limit” on how many civilian casualties Israel incurs in its bombardment of Gaza.
Graham made the comments while appearing on CNN after Israel bombed the Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza, killing dozens of people. An Israeli military commander was asked after the strike if Israel was aware the camp was full of innocent civilians and replied, “This is the tragedy of war.”
Graham was asked if there was a threshold where the US might ask Israel to hold off on causing so many civilian casualties. “No. If somebody asked us after World War II, ‘Is there a limit what would you do to make sure that Japan and Germany don’t conquer the world? Is there any limit what Israel should do to the people who are trying to slaughter the Jews? The answer is no. There is no limit,” he said.
Israeli officials have been pointing to the US and allied bombings of Germany and Japan during World War II, which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, to justify their onslaught in Gaza. The comparison includes the US fire bombings of Japanese cities, which killed around 100,000 civilians in Tokyo in one night in 1945, as well as the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Graham previously said if Israel doesn’t do something similar to Gaza, it would be a mistake. “Gaza is going to look like Tokyo and Berlin at the end of World War II when this is over. And if it doesn’t look that way, Israel made a mistake,” Graham said on Fox News.
The New York Times reported on Monday that Israeli officials conveyed to their US counterparts that “mass civilian casualties” were an acceptable toll of the Gaza campaign, which has been reflected by the massive child death toll, which according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, stands at 3,648. When asked about the child casualty rate on Monday, the Pentagon said there were “no limits” on how Israel can use its US-provided weapons.
“Perhaps the real objective in all this was to get America involved and earn the contempt of the entire Arab world by rushing to assist in the mass murder of Gazans, at the very time where Jewish NGOs are coordinating the deployment of Third World terrorists across the Southern border of the U.S. to facilitate the destruction of America in a world war that Washington and Tel Aviv are so eager to start. … The raw truth visible to all the world is that Israel and the USA believe it is their right to slaughter indigenous people, and for this, the future must conclude they both must pay extreme penalties for their repetitive and continuing anti-human behavior.:

Oh, sure, I do. Witnessed first hand what that ‘diversity’ brought to europe.
I was just coming out of the Oosterpark in Amsterdam, heading for the New York Coffeeshop
for some blueberry haze when Dutch film director Theo Van Gogh was stabbed. I was maybe a few hundred meters from the incident.
Theo Van Gogh was a Dutch film director. He directed Submission: Part 1, a short film written by Somali writer and politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali, which criticised the treatment of women in Islam in strong terms. On 2 November 2004, he was murdered by Mohammed Bouyeri, a Dutch-Moroccan Islamist who objected to the film’s message.
Afterward there was unrest, but the Dutch aren’t fighters in that sense. Now with the war on their farmers the Dutch of old are nearly extinct.
I watched online as isra-aid boats kept helping migrants ashore.

Your words remind me how layered all the stories are. MSM attempts to frame them in black and white, good and bad, them and us, when things have been so intensely mixed up that good seeps into bad and all camps are vulnerable, all camps are suspect. And who the hell knows what’s pouring over the border? Those they say we are saving are coming to kill us. What can we do but prepare each day to face whatever enemy and move it out of the way. The inspiration of The Bill of Rights keeps me going. It’s like we’re at the last down and the opposition is brutal, seemingly unstoppable, and cruel. But we reach for something within that says, “I don’t think so. You wanna see ‘unstoppable?’ Freedom is unstoppable, and so is the will to live in freedom.”
From its history, I know there is rebellion in the Dutch soul. May those farmers tap in to that ancestry and fight the good fight. It’s come down to this: We fight until we no longer can. Seems that means until we’re dead. So be it ‘blueberry haze,’ or Jim Beam, or a walk in the woods, we have ways of remembering who we are, and the one thing I know for sure, WE AIN’T SLAVES, so that show is about to end once and for all.
