Lindsey Graham: Listen, here's what I would say about fighting an enemy who wants to kill you and your family. Why did we drop two bombs, two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? To end a war that we couldn't afford to lose. You don't understand, apparently, what Israel is facing. They're facing three groups: Iran, who has received 80 billion dollars in aid. When Trump left office they were exporting 300 [thousand] barrels of oil a day. Now they're at 1.3 million a day. They've been enriched by Biden. They're taking that money to kill all the Jews.
So when we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons. That was the right decision. Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war they can't afford to lose and work with them to minimize casualties.
[...]
My problem is not with the weapons Israel is using. My problem is with the tactics Hamas is using. And the idea that America is not sending a nickel of aid, echoed by United States senator, when all the Jews are trying to be killed by radical Islamic groups, tells us where we are at as a nation. The Republican Party is with Israel without apology.
