"In a video, Mast can be seen calmly telling the demonstrators, “It would be better if you kill all the terrorists and kill everyone who are supporters.”
When asked if he has seen the images of Palestinian babies killed in Israeli attacks, Mast says, “These are not innocent Palestinian civilians.”
“The babies?” the activists asks in astonishment.
Mast then says that the “half a million people starving to death” should have elected a pro-Israel government.
When one protester points out that much of Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed, Mast says, “And there’s more infrastructure that needs to be destroyed.”
“Did you not hear me? There’s more that needs to be destroyed,” he says again for emphasis."
This guy has no business being anywhere near public office. Fucking Florida again.
Ah yes, they should have elected a pro-Israeli government in the checks notes 2006 election when over half of Gaza’s pre-genocide population either wasn’t born yet or wasn’t old enough to vote.
Fuck this fucking pro-genocide bastard.
Also, why the fuck would they vote for a “pro-Israel” government after that state has violently oppressed them, to the point of genocide, for several decades at that point?
It worked for Nelson Mandela.
Not to mention that even back then, they had already been depriving them of food and supplies, taking their territory, killing or imprisoning them randomly without charge, uprooting their olive trees and other forms of livelihood, killing their civilians wars, etc for 50 years. Neither Fatah or Hamas or the PFLP support Israel, that wasn’t an option in that election because no one would’ve fucking voted for that!
It would be like saying if the most recent generation of Native Americans didn’t want to die, their parents should have all elevated pro-American colonies chiefs after years of genocide had been already ongoing. In what universe would that make sense?
Those babies are clearly Hamas supporters!
This is the kind of stuff that makes me hate America.
Lots of us would love if about half our government played buckshot roulette with each other but it’s real tough to get anything done with wave after wave of “Be afraid, Be angry” propaganda every 30 minutes.
Hey I’ve got the perfect gun they could play with too. It’s about 120 years old, and single-shot.
Perfect for playing roulette all the way down the aisle.
Don’t be stupid.
I have a 1911 they can borrow, takes all the fun out of the game if it is single shot.
Dead babies are abhorrent no matter the side or reason and should be investigated as war crimes.
But I’m honestly not surprised that a democratic society disapproves of the use of violence to achieve political goals against Israel. Fundamentally hard to get people to care when Israeli babies were burned in their cribs.

Potato europe, not tomato europe, and only the ones west of the old communist bloc.
I don’t know, Potato Europe includes the Irish…
The English took their potato status a while back
“I don’t think we would so lightly throw around the term ‘innocent Nazi civilians’ during World War II.”
Not that this is at all the point of any of this, but yes we very much fucking would, and did. Ministers in the UK government pushed back against Churchill’s desire to bomb German civilians in retaliation for the bombing of London, saying it would “put us on the same plane morally as they are.” Eventually of course there was bombing of non-military targets in Germany, including the infamous firebombing of Dresden, and the British war government faced some fiery criticism at home because they were killing innocent people, and many of the British people understood that deliberately killing innocent people isn’t a part of legitimate war strategy, whatever it is that the guilty people were doing that you’re “retaliating” for.
Yeah but we’re talking about the US here and uhh…
Inconspicuously steps in front of footage of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
No step out of in front of it so people can learn from our mistakes instead of repeating them
You fool, that footage is playing on a projector! Stepping in front of it merely made it larger and displayed it on your chest and penis.
So that’s why the kids are calling it a mushroom cloud these days!
I think it’s also worth pointing out the inherent falseness of the analogy. They were innocent German civilians, not Nazi civilians. By equating Germans with Nazis, Mast is equating Palestinians with Hamas.
LordHardThrasher has been doing an excellent series on YouTube on the failures of the Allied bombing campaign, and why it shows democracies are better than dictatorships.
End US support for genocide.
Israel must end apartheid.
“The inherent sin of being born brown and non-Christian”
Just like Jesus was
jesus?
You mean that woke liberal terrorist?
Would they defend the child’s right to life if they were still in the womb? Or is that just performative theatrics for their voter base?
Hmmmmmm.
Republicans, please weigh in here. How do these contradictory truths live harmoniously in your head?
If Israel killed pregnant Palestinian women the GOP would find a way to blame the mother for being in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
no one believes that right to life shit anyway, especially not the people campaigning on it.
Honestly I’m just surprised they aren’t embracing forced abortions on anchor babies at this point.
Why do you think they are so angry and crazy all the time - all that cognitive dissonance rattling around in those hat racks has to really hurt after a while.

Needs to be eating his own feces
Somehow easier to look at than an actual photo of Donald Trump.
It’s true, guys! Hamas has a baby brigade trained to infiltrate Israeli barracks at night and wake them up by crying ridiculously loudly until someone feeds them.
Diabolical!
I mean, give my toddler a screwdriver, put him under the fence, and he could bring the Pentagon to its knees.
It could make a great “comedy of errors”/social satire style movie. Have the kid’s mischief mistaken for a terrorist cyber attack.
By the end of it all, the kid is “rescued” from the “attack” and hailed as an American hero; a symbol of perseverance.
Call the kid Chauncey Gardener or something…
I swore this could have been a Onion article
Of course the onion predicted it

@CollisionResistance I can’t believe my eyes. How did he became a Congressman?
Americans love genocide almost as much as Israelis.
I had to check I wasn’t on Not The Onion for a second…
Remember: One side doesn’t care about dead babies. The other reacts with glee.
Innocent or not, them babies are a helluva lot more worthy of life than this excremental GOP bastard. I hope someone runs over his kids with a car so we can all laugh about how they deserved it, after all - they’re not really very innocent.
Free will abounds with evil babies. They choose to be evil babies.
@CollisionResistance …Dude…
