A Florida state senator who once celebrated the Israeli military’s killing of an American citizen and has a history of calling for mass violence against Palestinians has won a special election for Mike Waltz’s seat in the House for Florida’s 6th Congressional District.
Randy Fine, who received a strong endorsement from President Trump, is extremely pro-Israel and has a history of calling on social media for mass violence against Palestinians.
Fine’s win on Tuesday night has put a spotlight on some of his more egregious posts, including his giddy response to the killing of Aysenur Eyzi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American citizen who was gunned down by the IDF while peacefully protesting Israeli settlements in the West Bank last year.
Eygi was born in Turkey and moved to the US with her family before her first birthday. She was shot in the head by an IDF soldier, and investigations have found that she was standing peacefully about 200 meters away from Israeli troops during the incident.
“Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerrorist. #FireAway,” Fine wrote on X after Eygi’s killing.
In 2021, a user questioned Fine’s support for Israel and asked him how he “slept at night” and shared a picture of what appeared to be an infant killed by an airstrike. Fine replied, “Quite well, actually! Thanks for the pic!”
Since the Hamas attack on southern Israel and the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Fine has repeatedly called for mass violence against Palestinians. “May the streets of Gaza run red with their blood,” Fine wrote on X on October 7, 2023.
In response to a video of President Trump discussing Israeli hostages in Gaza, Fine said, “So much for ‘innocent Palestinian civilians.’ #BombsAway.”
Fine has also equated all Palestinians with Hamas. “‘Palestinian’ = Hamas. #BombsAway,” he said in another post. He once said that “Palestinian” is ” just another word for Demon.”
Fine has called for Israel to cut off aid into Gaza and said it was “about time” when Israel imposed a total blockade on all goods entering the Strip last month. “Stop the trucks. Let them eat rockets. There are plenty of those. #BombsAway,” he said in a post in December 2023.
Makes one wonder why antisemitism is on the rise.
It’s always on the rise when raising money to “fight hate.”
And no one seems to realize that most of the Israelis emigrated to Palestine from Europe. The indigenous people in Palestine, Gaza, that region are the actual Semites there.
exactly!!!
Your first line is not true. 60% of the citizens of Israel are born in Israel.
70%.
I stand corrected, your number is more accurate.
Sure, 70% are born there…..now. How many are the direct descendants of those that came in the 20th century and violently displaced indigenous Arabs? Percentage of Jews living in Palestine in 1900? 6%.
How many of the "indigenous" Arabs are the direct descendants of those who invaded and conquered Palestine in the 7th century.
You're from where you're from, not where your ancestors happen to be from. I've got ancestors from Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Spain, England, and Ireland. I'm from Tennessee.
To your first point a) we’ll never know and b) it’s irrelevant because Palestine pre Zionism was a place open to people of all faiths. It also seems you’re suggesting people from Eastern Europe have as much claim to that land as people that had been there for centuries, if not longer.
“….I’m from Tennessee.” And if you had arrived from Europe and violently displaced local Tennesseeans to make your place, I’d say you have no right to be there. The problem with Israel is that not only was it formed on ethnic cleansing and massacres, but that this continues to this very day. I will never condone it.
I don't regard claims to land as arising from ancestry at all. Israelis don't have a magical claim to land just because they have ancestors who were forced off it. Neither do Arabs.
Tim, then maybe the other 30% can get the heck OUT??
Are not the Palestinians, Semites? They can proof it by dna. Are the folks committing these crimes semites? Or by every logical form of critical thinking and genealogy, antisemites then?
Palestinians are semi-semite, so only 1/4 (by math) but because the ASI considers them subhuman, they become 1/8th semite.
"Modern Israelis" (as demonstrated by passport & birth certificate & State loyalty) are FULLY semite, which calculates to 3/4 or else they'd be definitionally Fullite.
Having originally described a member of any people who spoke one of the family of Semetic languages,according to Britannica, it is now considered obsolete. Antisemitism remains as hostility or discrimination against Jews. https://www.britannica.com/topic/antisemitism
It super-helps to lower the bar for definitional "antisemitism" so much that everything convenient now fits.
That low bar is found in the "examples."

A definition represented in our recent laws. Laws that make young anti-zionists, groups such as IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace, antisemetic.
https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/why-so-many-young-jewish-americans-are-anti-zionist
What no one is discussing or even cares about discussing, is how this is making it very dangerous for Jews writ large.
They are playing into stereotypes and tropes, painting with a broad brush that all Jews are bloodthirsty, controlling speech, controlling all and thereby creating vaster antisemitism and further antiAmericanism, day by day.
Of course they do not care, because they (US leadership and Israeli leadership) don’t actually care about Israeli Jews, Americans, American or any other country’s Jews. It’s all about power. It has always been all about power.
Zionism, and the IHRA's Working definition of antisemitism making political critism of Israel antisemtic which is being incorporated into our laws, makes it very dangerous for Jews writ large, particularly young Jewish Americans who reject the union between Judaism and Zionism.

Well it was not on the rise in that voting district.
I guess if a priori everything Israel does is wonderful, then this makes sense.

Randy Fine is the American version of the extremist ZioNazi Itamar, Im a Rat, Gvir in Wasrael. Neither of them have ever skipped a meal, and both are fascist pigs. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll have a heart attack and die in his sleep. " die away! " ….
Nah, he deserves a slooooow death.
Compare Randy Fine to Ontario politicians Rob & Doug Ford and see not-shocking similarities in appearance and social ethics.
That's it. I thought elections were won by the Politicians who were least disgusting. This proves I know nothing forever.
Ah, but in so thinking thusly, you become become very wise indeed…
You are way too kind my friend.
And i have the scars to prove it.lol
Yes, a veritable Socrates, … on a Diogenes chat group.
NA, it’s a prerequisite for office. Decent people never get very far in a corrupt system.
They get eliminated before people go to the ballot box. If one should get through and people vote for him/her that person will soon be eliminated in office if he/she insists on continuing on the right path.
Oye vey!….
Trump doesn't care if he's a racist pig. Trump just counts it as another "win" for him.
Something is about to bust open sooner or later.
How long can it go on that Israel and the USA are controlling the world and killing and taking territories at will and the world looks on?
They say the world is already caving on tariffs. At least a number of countries are from what I heard.
Trump is riding high. And what are the Democrats doing? They are sticking with their old playbook that got us Trump in the first place. Yesterday, the win by the Dems in Wisconsin was explained by one that this was a win for abortions and transgender healthcare. How deaf can they get?
It was also a loss for the Musketeer…!
Florida has just added one more evil to the congress…!
Another Randy Fine special: “I don’t personally feel bad when human shields are killed.”
A satanic pride…!
No no no no.
TST Tenet 1 :
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
TST Tenet 3 :
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
Human shields directly violate ~28% of The Satanic Temple's 7 Tenets, with others in conflict against the practice.
While his lider accuses Hamas of this war crime.
It is Florida, what do you expect?
To gloat over the worst warcrimes possible and celebrate genocide of Palestinians is a surefire way to success in American politics. It is the same in Israel. I haven't really studied this particular feature but I would assume the same to be true for aspiring politicians in Nazi Germany, it might have been less crude back then.
These people are a blight on humanity and in a normal world they would be shunned from society, let alone allowed anywhere near any sort of public function.
One thing this mass murder has convinced me of, is to forever accord to lives of the oligarchs the same value they accorded to the lives of kids in Gaza.
And remember that so long as they control the US government, the respect shown to the latter should be directly proportional to its ability to mete out punishment for defying it, nothing more and nothing less.
Fine is not alone. Most Evangelical MAGAs celebrate the killing of Palestinians. They say it is in the bible to get rid of the false believers. And from the looks of the world just sitting and looking on the bible prophesy about them winning seems to be coming true – and they state so using it as an example of god being on their side.
"…it is in the bible to get rid of the false believers…"
That's gonna turn out poorly for every other religion, then every one of the 35,000+ denominations of Christianity.
Kinda telling that Randy chooses to hashtag a reference to Muslims into a situation where such alleged affiliation of the victim is not in any way relevant.
I'm not about to ascribe any religious membership to Fine, as I don't know and it's also not relevant. But I do accuse him of pandering to post-9/11 pre-MAGA Right-wing hatekorps.
All of this will go into the evidence box when these criminals are arrested and brought to justice.
And I guess I'm also not surprised to learn that Randy Fine is a member of Yahweh's Zionist congregation (see Wikipedia), considering his virulent hatred of Palestinians.
Have we yet seen him cosplaying in IDF uniform ?
It won't be long, now.
"All of this will go into the evidence box when these criminals are arrested and brought to justice" And when will that happen?
