    Okay I know the US is corrupt as hell, but how is someone like this in charge of anything? Like, a statement like this is stupid even if you’re pro-Israel. Why would Israel want to nuke the land they’re stealing? In a place that would also be effectively nuking themselves?

    You would think that level of of self-sabotaging, dangerous stupidity would get you immediately fired.

      How braindead must you be not to understand that nukes don’t only affect your destined targets, even chidren are perfectly capable of comprehending this. Unless the problem is that he’s extremely geographically illiterate and thinks Israel is very far away from Gaza which is also possible considering US education.

      Any moron could tell you that nuking a place within near-vicinity of the place you’re trying to protect is self-destructive, so even if you’re a committed zionist, this looks horrible. The fact that the Empire hasn’t collectively given this imbecilic ghoul the boot from its political sphere for saying something so mask-off bloodthirsty and stupid reinforces my belief that right now it isn’t interested in long-term stability of either itself or its colonial outpost so much as it’s concerned with trying to “make a point” to the rest of the world (even its vassal states) in response to the scrutiny and criticism it received. Of course, time will tell if that “point” will be what it wants it to be.

      Then again, maybe I’m giving it too much credit and it’s too much of a deadlocked, stagnant mess of contradictions to act coherently. It’s not like the Bourgeoisie are above self-destructive infighting.
