Republican Randy Fine wants to nuke Gaza.
He said so after two Israeli Embassy employees were shot and killed in Washington DC on Wednesday.
Fox News asked Fine on Thursday if he thought this could affect the ceasefire proposed between Israel and Palestine. Fine said the embassy deaths were due to “Muslim terror” and compared Palestinians to World War II-era Nazis and Japanese.
“The fact of the matter is the Palestinian cause is an evil one,” Fine said. “We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here. There is something deeply, deeply wrong with this culture, and it needs to be defeated.”
Fine’s website states that he defends “the right to life” and shows that he has been endorsed by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. …
These are the words of a man who values life. He was not only not eager to “nuke” the women and children of Japan, he didn’t want to do it all.
Because humanity. Morality. Basic decency. In Ike’s case, patriotism and not wanting to bring shame to his own country was part of the mix.
Because, most simply, life. A concept so simple and precious that it doesn’t have to be explained to others whose heads aren’t twisted up by war and bloodlust.
There are a number of terms that can be used to describe Republicans who are seemingly eager to murder innocents abroad as part of a foreign policy strategy.
“Pro-life” is not one of them.
Correct, anyone espousing war and more war and “nuke ‘em” is not Pro-life in any meaningful way. They may be saying they are Pro-life for political reasons but they are not even closely aligned with anything considered Pro-life if they are warmongers. But of course, are those darn Palestinians human? Can’t we just treat them as rabid dogs? Can’t we just kill them all, out of hand? Right, Pro-life my ass. Pro-death.
