According to Israel's Kan channel, Randy Fine, a Republican congressman, demanded the nuclear bombing of Gaza in response to the killing of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington.
During an interview on the American Fox channel, the representative from Florida stated on his X platform account - where he described himself as "a proud Zionist Jew" - "We did not negotiate surrender with the Japanese, we bombed them with nuclear weapons twice to force their unconditional surrender, we must do the same here, as America and Israel will never differ about the extermination of Palestinians."
Fine is not the first to call for a nuclear strike on Gaza, others have preceded him, including Republican Senator Lindsey Graham who compared the aggression against Gaza with the United States' decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan in World War II.
Graham said, "When we faced destruction as a nation after the Pearl Harbor attack and fought the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons, and that was the right decision."
In Israel too, many extremists, including the Minister of Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Amihai Eliyahu, called early last year for the dropping of nuclear weapons on Gaza.
