    "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?

        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?

      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.

    “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.

      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.

    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?

      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.

    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.

        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…
