Lindsey Graham: ‘Israel should do whatever it takes, as long as it takes, to destroy this threat’

“Finish them. They should have hell to pay for what they’ve done,” said fellow South Carolinian and presidential candidate Nikki Haley.

Two South Carolina politicians spoke in particularly blunt terms about Israel destroying Hamas.

“As far as I’m concerned, Israel should do whatever it takes, as long as it takes, to destroy this threat,” wrote Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“It is in America’s interest for Israel, one of our best allies in the world, to survive and flourish against efforts to destroy them by radical Islamic terrorists,” Graham said. “There should be no time limit or conditions set on Israel’s response to Hamas’ invasion.”

Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor, who is currently running for president (and who is a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations), said in a Fox News interview on Saturday that Hamas “should have hell to pay.”

“I’ll say this to Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu: Finish them. Finish them,” Haley said. “Hamas did this. You know Iran’s behind it, finish them. They should have hell to pay for what they’ve just done.”

One professor who served on the committee that created the report said the Trump administration’s accusations of antisemitism at Yale “were a pretty serious exaggeration.”
“Amid the alarming rise in antisemitic incidents across Canada, this report represents an important contribution to the development of effective solutions,” the Israeli embassy in Canada stated.
“Activities specifically done to harass or intimidate people, especially as they’re entering into a religious institution to go worship, are unacceptable,” Rep. Tom Suozzi told JNS.
“Relationships tied to military conflict are far more likely to be seen as burdens,” the survey stated.
“The environment at TMU pushed me to a place I never thought I’d be—feeling like I no longer belonged on my own campus,” said Toronto Metropolitan University student Liat Schwartz.
