Graham: There Should Be “No Limit” To Deaths In Gaza

“If somebody asked us after World War II, ‘Is there a limit what would you do to make sure that Japan and Germany don’t conquer the world? Is there any limit what Israel should do to the people who are trying to slaughter the Jews?’ The answer is no. There is no limit. But here’s what you need to do. Be smart. Let’s try to limit civilian casualties the best we can. Let’s put humanitarian aid in areas that protect the innocent. I’m all for that. But this idea that Israel has to apologize for attacking Hamas, who’s embedded with their own population, needs to stop. The goal is to destroy Hamas. Hamas is creating these casualties – not Israel.” – Sen. Lindsey Graham, when asked by CNN host Abby Phillip if it’s acceptable for Israel to bomb “densely populated civilian areas.”

I asked @LindseyGrahamSC if there’s a limit to the number of civilian casualties that the US would accept in Gaza?
