    Okay I know the US is corrupt as hell, but how is someone like this in charge of anything? Like, a statement like this is stupid even if you're pro-Israel. Why would Israel want to nuke the land they're stealing? In a place that would also be effectively nuking themselves?

    You would think that level of of self-sabotaging, dangerous stupidity would get you immediately fired.

      Christian Zionists have no intention of upholding a long term settler project. They believe Israel will spark the end times and they really want them to hurry it up.

      How braindead must you be not to understand that nukes don't only affect your destined targets, even chidren are perfectly capable of comprehending this. Unless the problem is that he's extremely geographically illiterate and thinks Israel is very far away from Gaza which is also possible considering US education.
