Lawmakers in the US and Israel have called for the mass slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack on southern Israel that has killed at least 1,000 Israelis. So far, Israeli retaliation has killed 900 Palestinians, a number that’s growing amid Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
Revital “Tally” Gotliv, a member of Israel’s Knesset and the Likud party, called for Israel to use its nuclear weapons, which Israel has never formally acknowledged exist.
“Jericho Missile! Jericho Missile! Strategic alert. Before considering the introduction of forces. Doomsday weapon! This is my opinion. May God preserve all our strength,” Gotliv wrote on X on Monday.
In another post, she urged for Israel to use “Doomsday weapons” and “everything in its arsenal.” The following day, she continued to call for a massive strike on Gaza, which is home to over two million people, about half of whom are children.
“Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength and security!” she wrote. “It’s time to kiss doomsday. Shooting powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighborhood. Crushing and flattening Gaza… without mercy! without mercy!”
Over in the US, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) also called for mass slaughter in Gaza.
CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Rubio: “Is there a way for Israel to destroy Hamas without causing massive casualties against the innocent people of Gaza? There are more than two million people in the Gaza Strip and roughly a million of them are children.”
Rubio replied: “Yeah, I don’t think there’s any way Israel can be expected to co-exist or find some diplomatic off-ramp with these savages. I mean, these are people, as you’ve been reporting and others have seen, that deliberately targeted teenage girls, women, children, the elderly … just horrifying things, and I don’t think we know the full extent of it yet. I mean, there’s more to come in the days and weeks ahead. You can’t exist. They have to be eradicated.”
In an apparent reference to civilian casualties, Rubio continued, “And you pointed out the difficult challenge. This is going to be incredibly painful. This is going to be incredibly difficult. And it’s going to be horrifying, the price to pay. But even more horrifying is allowing a group like this to continue to be a viable group operating from a space that they control. I wish, you know, in an ideal world, people will tell you that there is, but I just don’t — I don’t see any other option. It’s a terrible option, but it remains the only option.”
Pure evil. But it is out in the open.
Yes, but quietly. I do not see major media raise the issue of genocide, proportionality, creating a holocaust, calling Palestinians “savages”, “animals”, while ignoring the day to day misery for Palestinians in the occupied territories. Our politicians are falling all over themselves supporting the holocaust. There is an election next year. AIPAC is watching and listening.
Well everybody loves a good holocaust now and again, except the victims. How else are ;you going to deal with a large group of people you dislike?
If that was “sarcasm”, you need to take lessons from NA, because yours is truly pathetic.
“If you wish to see who controls you, look to those whom you are not allowed to criticize.”
—-Voltaire
Being known to all or most of the world probably won’t save the Palestinians from being slaughtered in their shattered buildings.This is like an Elephant stepping on a bug.
The Gazans are victims of Hamas as well.
Yes,when I see groups of armed men taking away bleeding women for further defilement-its pure evil
Genocide not shame is the final fig leaf for humanity.
Note: Rubio called the Palestinians, Hamas, “savages”. Rubio goes on to say that genocide is the “only option”. Killing men, women, children, babies. Rubio also used the same playbook used to vilify Iraqis in 2003, when there were stories of babies being taken out of incubators. I predict Israel attacks will wind up killing perhaps 50,000, maiming 150,000, killing more over time due to lack of potable water (dysentery), food, medicine (hospitals are being targeted). An Israeli lawmaker laid the whole thing at Netanyahu’s feet: https://news.antiwar.com/2023/10/08/israeli-lawmaker-says-pogroms-against-palestinians-provoked-hamas-assault/
I just can’t see a fucking rainbow anywhere in the MidEast.
What is the alternative-to let 2 million Paelstinians,spearheaded by 40,000 Hamas and lord knows how Hezzbollah,Syrians and Iranians,loose into Israel.
Marco Rubio is a corporate fascist.
There are a lot of Jewish people in Florida and NY. this helps account from the shit coming out of Rubio and Schumer.
I have never got to the point of accepting just how vicious Israelis can be – they are truly evil.
And more importantly backed by the US and AIPAC they feel no need to change. Might makes right.
Well gee golly whiz bang! Women gang raped,babies beheaded,and poor poor Hamas.
White is black and black is white.
I have never been more ashamed to be American.
But at least the masks are off.
Nor have I, and I’ve been ashamed of my country many times over many decades.
These people are advocating a holocaust.
It’s chilling, the level of evil.
Never let it be in doubt about how much veniality or cruelty humans can do to each other.
Sure is. You can see it clearly when you look in the mirror. God bless America.
I’d downvote you but I’d just rather call you an asshole. Asshole.
Both.
You wound me. You are what comes out of an asshole
What, you think I’m an American politician’s nose?
Really took you 4 hours to come up with that?
Hardly. I don’t live here. Took you an hour to come up with that?
Based on your 16k comments I’d say you have earned a key to the city
I’ve been here for years. I make comments. They add up. And unlike you, I comment on other articles that don’t pertain to Israel. Also, unlike you, I don’t visit other’s profiles to see how many comments they make so I can use that as a counter to whatever I’m replying to. I base my argument on the stupid shit that you type.
Yes.beheading babies is evil.
When you are violent monsters you beget violent monsters
What fomented this at this time were the pogroms against Muslim holy sites: https://news.antiwar.com/2023/10/08/israeli-lawmaker-says-pogroms-against-palestinians-provoked-hamas-assault/
History started on 10/7/2023 don’t you know.
It re-starts after each Israeli crime.
Were any Muslims killed?Were any mosques burned.? No-no pogrom.
Calling these people humans is quite a stretch.
Take a look at the hate cartoons Hamas produces.
Nor have I.
What’s to be ashamed about ? Atrocities are standard for the terrorist Yankee army. My Lai, Abu Ghraib and of course Hiroshima & Nagasaki
It’s the ghoulish way they talk about all of it, not bothering with the veneer. The veil is off. And still, people don’t see it.
No, they don’t see it. We even dropped 2 nuclear bombs on 2 civilian cities to “save lives.”
Don’t forget the near-extermination of Native Americans, Leinster.
Rubio never puts on a mask. Even when Nuland told him that we have “biological ‘research’ facilities” in Ukraine, he said: “If there is a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians behind it?” See… …No mask. …None, whatsoever.
Still no mention of Palestinian Americans living in Gaza. I bet there are some if only on vacation.
To quote a great American diplomat, “We think the price is worth it.”
I can’t say that America has had any great diplomats
You mean you don’t recognize the greatness of Madeleine Albright? I’m shocked.
Seriously, though, diplomats aren’t primarily policy makers, so judging their effectiveness pretty much requires setting aside agreement or disagreement with the policies they advance (or fail to).
And Ben Franklin was pretty impressive.
At least with the IDF we can all rest assured that this will be the most moral genocide in the World!
And afterwards continue cherishing their ‘victimhood’. Elie Weisel lives on.
That damn holocaust just wont go away (sarcasm)
Israel has been playing on this since the day it was established on stolen Arab land.
Did you know that there were Jews living in Israel since before the Romans,that lands were purchased?
Yes, the wealthiest sub-class in the history of the world, but, in addition to everything else, they also own the franchise on victimhood.
You finally show where you are coming from!
This guy showed his colours a long time ago
What is your problem with Weisel?
Cynically sacrificing Ukrainian youth, and now openly calling for Palestinian genopcide, only proves again what we already knew, “the swamp”, bourgeois pols are the lowest life-form on the planet.
One of my favorite clips ever: “I DON’T CARE WHAT THE FACTS ARE:” https://youtu.be/10qatUWwIeg?si=gUtiZptjd8cRTePz
No rational person can disagree with your premise.
It’s beyond a swamp Roberts.
It’s a sewer.
Yeah a parasite is form of life. But not something you want to continue to exist.
evil as evil can be….
I just reread the account of the US bombing of the Al Firdos bunker in Iraq during Desert Storm; a civilian bombshelter, crowded with over 400 people, mostly women and children. Although virtually all “intelligence” dismissed it as a military target, it was bombed anyway, and at least 408 civilians, hundreds of whom were children, were crushed, burned, and scalded to death. And, of course, no one was held accountable; just “a mistake”.
And that’s just ONE of the many atrocities committed by the USA against women and children (the last being the “righteous strike” in Afghanistan that killed 13 civilians, 10 of which were small children) in an insane rush to “revenge” and make Biden “look tough”.
Another “mistake”, and, again, of course no one in the military is held accountable.
So, OK; I have zero sympathy for the actions of HAMAS; but the ridiculous wailing of the media, as if no innocents have ever been killed before, and certainly not by us, or by the israelis, even as their air force bombs the most densely populated area in the middle east, is sickening. Rubio is a coward and a hypocrite, and hopefully this ranting will end his political career, but I doubt it.
When we kill civilians, we do it by “mistake,” except when we’re exposed and caught literally red handed, then we did it to “save lives.” Example: There’s no way to drop 2 nuclear bombs on 2 cities by mistake, so in that case, we did it to “save lives.”
Hypocracy is not lacking in the total support that the US gives Israel
Oneday the reckoning will knock at the door .Unfortunately the innocents will pay and these bastard will be long gone .
Hamas is attacking the Genocide the only way they can.Somewhere somebody has to put a stop to this slaughter.
A Hamas guy under interrogation admits to raping.When asked why-“to dirty them”.Reminds me of Bosnia. Of Armenia.Of Japanese in WW2.Ten years from now,Hamas will be employed as mercs and common but deadly criminals.
People like Gotliv and Rubio are trying hard to avoid those words: “final solution.” Even if they mean it.
Final solution has a familiar ring .So now they get to emulate the Nazis whom killed millions.
No doubt you speak of the grand Mufti.
It is Hezboallah who speaksof such things.
As usual those who always claim the moral high ground are always the quickest to discard all morals.
Amen, brother.
Funny the way that goes. Israel lost their virginity way back in 1948
Ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians have always been Israeli objectives.
Not at all.there were often good relationships,even after 1967.People are people.People even intermarry-I’m sure its not easy for them.
Nukes produce too much fallout. That would be a stupid idea to use them so close to Israel. A better idea is to flatten Gaza with Thermobarics, and then release an engineered Bird Flu to shrink their population down to the quiescent point – after vaccinating your own first.
The new Covids or Ebolas may get everyone on both sdies.
The Israelis have followed the same patterns and methods the European settlers used in the Americas, Australia , and New Zealand in decimating the indigenous peoples. And they have used almost the same language when referring to the Palestinians.
Israel calling the Palestinians animals is a total failure to look inward at ones own behavior.
Sure, the fallouts will kill Israelis and possibly Egyptians too…!
They’re not only brutal beyond compare, but they’re also equally stupid.
… with heavy emphasis on the latter.
Honestly, after what palestine hamas did, if you support palestine/hamas you truly are a modern day Nazi. Look at all the modern day Nazi’s on this website.
“modern day Nazi’s” being criticized by just one very – very – sick puppy.
TheUs is sending two carrier groups,25 ships 250 fighter planes to help Israel beat back a force that throws rocks at tanks that feature flame throwers and bulldozers
-144 Palestinians killed by Israel’s security forces in the West Bank in 2022 (excluding East Jerusalem).
-5/10/21 Israeli security forces forced their way into Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque compound in the early hours of Monday morning, firing rubber-coated bullets and stun grenades at hundreds of Palestinians who fought with police through the night.The crackdown comes as Israeli nationalists prepare to conduct an annual march through Jerusalem’s Old City to commemorate its capture by Israeli forces in 1967.
AND ON AND ON
I guess it takes 2 neo-Nazis to tango
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) could and should be arrested as a war criminal, tried and executed, on the same basis as for example the Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher. Same crime. Millions of victims he’s trying to kill.
Marco and his fellow Neocons would be very comfortable with a planet made up of only white people.
The Neocon disease isn’t restricted to Whites.
Correct Wendell! After all, the IsraHellis “look like us”, since they’re all Europeans and Amerikkkans. Hell, they probably even watch Netflix like the Ukrainazis! (And they’re working very hard now to expel a large group of Africans.)
As opposed to the mostly dark-haired, darker-skinned Palestinians who don’t share a religion with most of us and whose women modestly cover themselves, as opposed to fat teenage Amerikkan girls who walk about with their flab hanging out every which way, which makes me wanna puke, btw. At age 69, I’m fit and slender and I dress modestly.
Darn Palestinians probably don’t even watch Netflix…they’re too busy dodging IDF bullets and tear gas canisters.
Little Marco with a big mouth.
US, Israeli Lawmakers Call for Genocide of Israelis in Israel
Zionists have always shown a lack of concern, even for their own coreligionists, when it serves their goals.
What the government of Israel is doing is contrary to everything in the Torah.
I thought I saw you at shul the other day
Apparently killing a bunch of innocent Palestinians is considered justice
for killing innocent Israelis.
Lets throw some random Jewish people in jail for what Bernie Madoff did. ( am being sarcastic—)
Well then tell Hamas to give themselves up
That made me chuckle.
Israelis are to blame for circumstances, they created the apartheid regime,
they built modern day Warsaw ghetto / concentration camp called Gaza
How ironic, the final solution…
“They have to be eradicated… It’s a terrible option, but it remains the only option.” No Rubio. You don’t get to pretend you’re that “benevolent reluctant worrier” and $hit “moral superiority” on my face this morning. Can’t you see I’m busy watching this clip on replay all morning? https://youtu.be/s-s7eG2ckN4?si=FLmjQIfhhODR87x_
Good on Trump! Hysterical!
Our best stand-up-comedy POTUS. LOL !
Hitleresque solutions indeed.
Revital “Tally” Gotliv, a member of Israel’s Knesset and the Likud party, called for Israel to use its nuclear weapons, which Israel has never formally acknowledged exist.
Nuclear fallout would blanket most of Israel so that is a stupid comment.
Fallout is produced by surface/sub-surface blasts, but not air bursts.Air bursts would do damage in, and take out electricity and electronics (from EMP) in, much of Israel as well. For Israel in particular, they’re entirely suicide / “Samson Option” weapons.
Fallout in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki air bursts which happened around 1,900 feet was evident. The main radionuclides released are Iodine-131, Cesium-137, and Strontium-90.
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is living proof that you do not have to be intelligent to get elected to office in America.
Well, Marco just made my Christmas list of people that I hope develop ass cancer and suffer an incredibly painful and miserable death. It will be horrifying but it’s a price to pay. What would be even more horrifying is that this motherfucker will continue to waste good oxygen.
Sadder still is that this shill will get re-elected by the sheeple constituents
Our elected officials should all be accused,tried and convicted of the war crimes committed against the American public by diverting moneys needed for our health and prosperity to killing civilians in other countries.
Are our politicians of poor calibre-yes.But speaking of sheeple-here on antiwar,there is the prevailing view with regards the Mideast,Anyone who dares to disagree is attacked by the sheeple.
Well fucking said. There are many POS individuals in Congress but little Marco is high on the list
