Senator Marco Rubio delivered a forceful condemnation of Hamas during his Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday, as he seeks to become Secretary of State under President-elect Donald Trump. Rubio’s comments underscored his intent to take a hardline approach against the terrorist group, which he described as a major obstacle to peace and stability in the Middle East.
“Hamas sent a bunch of savages into Israel with the express and explicit purpose of targeting civilians,” Rubio said, referencing the Oct. 7 massacre. “How can any nation state on the planet coexist side-by-side with a group of savages like Hamas?”
Rubio stated unequivocally that Hamas could not continue to govern Gaza, pointing to the group’s stated goal of Israel’s destruction. “You can’t turn it over to people who seek your destruction,” he said, stressing that any resolution for the territory must ensure Hamas is no longer in power.
In addition to addressing Hamas’ influence in Gaza, Rubio called for strict measures to prevent supporters of the group from entering or remaining in the United States. “If you can not come in because you’re a supporter of Hamas, you should not be able to stay on a visa if you’re a supporter of Hamas,” Rubio sad. “I think that’s just an issue of common sense, and we intend to be very forceful about that.”

Response to Rubio’s question is :- No-one can coexist with these hamas savages, and time for Rubio to run for the White House or at any rate after J.D. Vance’s 2 terms, but as long as he [Rubio] drops his frazzled idea of permanent daylights savings time.
so refreshing to hear such common sense spoken, otherwise, common sense is not so common these days…
147-what do we know about JD that we want him to be president? He just got lucky that trump picked him. He called him htler before that
but he was appointed by trump so he must be terrible for israel (right crazy?)
Finally someone who tells it like it. Can you imagine how Kamala would behave? Or the Arabist radical lobby she cowed to, the ones who took over Wikipedia and coordinated organized edited pages upon pages on the Arab immigrants children called “Palestinians” and creating” them as if they were a separated “race,” too. Deciding who is a RS. Rewriting history with pallywood lies, promoting pallyweid slurs, all over the place.
@Rightwriter
JD Vance called Trump Hitler and that’s exactly what Trump ימח שמו is. One that forces Israel In to a dangerous deal that will make it’s security vonurable Is suitable to be called Hitler . If JD called him what he is 8 years ago he seems to be a suitable for president seeing the future upfront.
As a Brit, it’s so refreshing to hear someone in american politics who both:
a) Sounds at least like an adult – like they used to all sound like – and not an immature baby having a tantrum or spouting bald faced lies and nonsense based on nothing more than something some conspiracy theorist said online somewhere (or some corrupt fox news anchor decided he was going to sell as today’s “truth”)
and
b) Is sounding like that, whilst also being a right-wing politician. And is saying stuff that actually at least sounds like like it makes some kind of sense.
This guy sounds like he’s just a better class of politician than any of the current crop – including Trump, Biden, Harris or Vance. If I were an American, I’d vote for him for president.
