So he infact did not suggest nuking Gaza.
Why is media like this? Someone says something stupid and then they lie about it claiming they said something even more stupid. How am I supposed to take these articles seriously? What else do you lie about?
She? Lindsey is a dude.
Oh. Sorry about that. This is how much I pay attention to American politics.
So he infact is an old man, not a she.
Why are Israeli trolls like this? Someone points out something stupid genocidal Israeli supporters said and then when people get outraged, they pretend they didn't say it.
How am I supposed to take these Israeli trolls seriously?
The journalist didn't even mention nuclear bombs, Senator Graham brought it up themselves and then suggested it would be 'ok' to nuke Gaza if it ends the conflict. Yeah, the article is shit, it's The Daily Beast... watch the actual interview.
He did not say the specific words "We should nuke Gaza," but for anyone to read the article or watch the interview and not understand that is exactly what he is suggesting... That person would have to be an utter moron or be arguing in bad faith.
EDIT: Missed a space
Takes quite a bit of mental acrobatics if that's the conclusion one pulls out from that. That's motivated reasoning and partisan thinking. I seriously doubt even he is dumb enough to suggest for someone to use nuclear weapons literally on their back yard. That doesn't make any sense. What he said is stupid as it is. No need to start making shit up.
About every reply here is taking the headline at face value. Imagine that.
