Sen. Lindsey Graham Suggests Nuking Gaza, Calls Hiroshima ‘the Right Decision’
Graham argued Israel would be justified in obliterating Gaza because America did it to Japan 80 years ago.
You're viewing a single thread.
Japan was completely blockaded, which is such a profound thing in war that it's really all you need to defeat "nuking was necessary" arguments.
And they were completely resource starved, another profoundly important detail of a war machine.
And the fanaticism + "they will die to the last man, woman, and child" is grossly misrepresented in the context of nukes.
But these details aren't relevant to how Palestinians and the situation in Gaza is portrayed. No siree.
My dude.... Are you just ignoring all the war crimes and atrocities committed by the Japanese Empire leading up to the involvement of the US?
Nothing excuses the use of nuclear weapons, especially on civilian centers. No need to defeat those arguments.
But blockading the same country that invaded the Philippines and tossed living babies in the air and caught them on their bayonets was maybe a bit justified.
They are saying that nuclear weapons weren't justified considering they were already blockading the country.
You seem to be thinking that they said nuclear weapons weren't justified and neither was blockading.
