Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) argued Israel had to occupy the Gaza Strip or face a renewed threat from Hamas.
The South Carolina Republican described it as a “World War II-type action.”
“Well, you know Israel has no choice but to go into Gaza and occupy the Gaza Strip and destroy Hamas, or they’ll get hit again,” Graham said. “The old way of doing business died with those babies. So this is a World War II-type action, total war against Hamas. I’m not calling for the eradication of the Palestinian people. There are plenty of Palestinians I know I consider friends. All Palestinians are not Hamas, but I’ll tell you this, Hamas and the ayatollah of Iran want to kill all the Jews just like the Nazis.”

He’s right about half the time. The other half, I wonder what planet he’s living on.
Linda’s wetting himself with excitement at the thought of a hot war.
Broken Clocks are right twice a day…
Lindsey is an opportunist. He may as well be a Dem. He is a Dem bootlicker. He is the epitome of a political hack. His core is his belly. He satisfies himself and his political empire that he and the people of his state have built. It is so easy for someone like him to now be full of rage. Hamas charter has always been a charter of death and destruction to the Jewish people. He is a loyal American political hack! He is the very definition of why we need term limited politicians!
People like Gates, Soros etc are politicians playing the system and getting rich at the same time.
Soon the world will complain about disproportionate response and unite against Israel IMNSHO.
I am also watching for treachery from the evil illegit Biden administration.
Linds says something right once a decade.
Gaza can only know peace if there is no Arab control of it.
Didn’t say whether or not I think he’s right. Just that he sounds like Putin
Well said.
He sure has a firm grasp of the obvious.
The Pentagon has ordered a second aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean near Israel to deter Iran or Hezbollah from joining the Israel-Hamas conflict, according to U.S. officials.
A senior US official and a US official told ABC News that the USS Eisenhower carrier strike group will be ordered to the eastern Mediterranean to join the USS Gerald R Ford carrier strike group that arrived there earlier this week and is in international waters off of Israel.
A Pentagon spokesperson did not immediately have a comment on the development.
Senior U.S. officials have said publicly this week that the presence of the USS Ford carrier strike group in the eastern Mediterranean and the addition of more U.S. Air Force fighter jets to the region was intended to show the U.S. commitment to Israel and to serve as a deterrent to Iran and Hezbollah not to get involved in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The Eisenhower strike group includes the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower and the guided missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea (CG-58), and the guided missile destroyers USS Laboon (DDG-58), USS Mason (DDG-87) and USS Gravely (DDG-107).
“These posture increases were intended to serve as an unequivocal demonstration in deed and not only in words of U.S. support for Israel’s defense and serve as a deterrent signal to Iran, Lebanese Hezbollah, and any other proxy across the region who might be considering exploiting the current situation to escalate conflict,” a senior U.S. defense official said Monday. “Those adversaries should think twice.”
Having the Eisenhower joining the Ford will increase the show of force enhancing that message of deterrence.
The Israelis were trying to be mister nice guy and playing whack-a-mole with terrorists in Gaza. I suspect this time they will kill or capture everyone associated with Hamas and any new regime will be far more controlled than the last one. They may even deport them if they can.
That is some prime real estate they’re sitting on. It could be a paradise with the right management.
Add an oil pipeline and a Las Vegas touch, and we’re talking a cool $trillion
Yep. I say use it for an artillery and bombing range.
Now that graham’s in favor of occupation...
doesnt seem like such a good idea anymore.
“...All Palestinians are not Hamas...”
True, 50% of them are Hamas members and the other half are ISIS.
Israel should not occupy Gaza. They should instead annex it and kick all the Mooslimbs out. Then turn Gaza into a twenty mile toxic sewage plant. /spit
The Israelis should dig up Ariel Sharon‘s body and piss on it.
The Israelis won’t stop until they recover every last hostage and/or their bodies. The Democrats better support the State of Israel or they’ll lose their Jewish base of voters.
