Can you believe that Lindsey Graham has urged the Use of them against Hamas?? An area smaller than the city limits of Colorado Springs?
Graham said to Welker on Sunday, “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. That was the right decision.”
Graham was referencing the only time nuclear bombs have been used in war when the U.S. dropped them on Japan in 1945 at the end of World War II.
The senator added: “Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war they can’t afford to lose and work with them to minimize causalities.” It turns out that Israel has plenty of nukes. But he is arguing that we should continue supplying Israel with block buster conventional bombs that indiscriminately take out civilians–as did the WWII nukes we used. His immoral assertion that our use of Nukes was correct because it ended the war with Japan (the myth that has gained acceptance with the US public over time though at the time US churches condemned the action and there is plenty of evidence Japan was on the verge of surrender w/o the A-bomb use.) Lindsey’s knee jerk statements in support of Israel’s genocide show how crazy and immoral Trump Republicans have become.
