The senator also said military experts warning against Israel's use of catastrophic force were "full of crap."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) lost his temper while explaining what he thinks Israel should do to fight Hamas, calling experts wary of a continued bombardment of Gaza “full of crap.”
During a Sunday appearance on “Meet the Press,” Graham harshly criticized President Joe Biden for his threats to withhold certain types of weapons from Israel if it continues plans for a ground invasion in Rafah, where over a million Palestinians are sheltering.
“Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war,” the politician told host Kristen Welker. “They can’t afford to lose.”
Asked why it was allowed for former President Ronald Reagan to withhold similar aid from Israel during its war in Lebanon in the ’80s, Graham said Biden’s move “emboldens Hamas” and other enemies of Israel.
He also repeatedly compared Israel’s efforts to eliminate Hamas to the United States’ choice to deploy nuclear bombs on Japan during World War II.
