Mast’s remarks reflect his previous comparison of Palestinians to Nazis.
By Tori Otten
A Republican representative believes that Palestinian babies are not innocent civilians but “terrorists” who should be killed.
Florida Representative Brian Mast made the horrifying comment when confronted by Code Pink protesters outside his office on Wednesday.
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.
More than 27,000 Palestinians have been killed since October in Israel’s constant bombardment of Gaza. The majority of the victims have been women and children.
Mast’s horrific comments—and the chilling way in which he delivered them—should come as no surprise. In November, just a few weeks after the war began, Mast compared Palestinian civilians to Nazis and implied that they are all guilty for Hamas’s atrocities.
“I would encourage the other side to not so lightly throw around the idea of ‘innocent Palestinian civilians,’ as is frequently said,” he said on the House floor.
“I don’t think we would so lightly throw around the term ‘innocent Nazi civilians’ during World War II.”

Another psychopath in A parasitic job.
A sick mother fucker!
What few experts and commentators fail to qualify in these genocidal opinions, is the fact that American society considers itself the ‘Indispensable and exceptional nation’, belief also shared by Nazi Germany and Jewish Zionism. Consequently supporters of the regime, are impervious to any rights for all foreign nations. Since its foundation by Calvinists in 1776, the republic has been ruled by those sacred principles. Few Americans can face this correct assessment. As an holocaust survivor once commented: ‘At that time we knew that there was no God’ to prevent our suffering. No doubt in my mind that after millions of people dead at the hands of the American Evil Empire, is obvious proof that God is dead, otherwise the US would be obliterated in divine retribution.
He is a filthy sick little whore (no offense to sex workers) bastard for Israel.
You’re witnessing the fall of Rome.
Course he totally mixed it up. By his comments he (and others like him) are the real Nazis. There is no circumstances where one can justify the murder of babies. But coming from Israeli supporters we can suppose this is no longer a surprise. Trouble is as I’ve remarked to my Jewish friends this endangers all Jews even if you do not support the government. It is of course disturbing that if one criticizes the Israel government it is somehow equated to antisemitism.
This is the kind of sick, vicious, subhuman of which our Israel-bought Congress is composed. Others have the little sense required not to put the words they live by out in public, unlike this sorry cretin, but they support what he is saying.
What is the most telling thing about what he says here is that he has no fear what so ever of any back lash or any one any where holding him to account or of facing any kind of punishment for saying it! For standing right there on public broadcast encouraging and bragging and calling for down right genocide. The U-ASS has been war mongering genocidic for decades now but our government is no longer even trying to hide it any more. Just showing us to all our faces that nothing we say or think matters and they will do what ever they like and that is that.
Send him to the front lines, preferably in Ukraine. I’m sick of these cowards filled with hate and violence who hide out in our legislatures. He looks young enough to fight for the Ukrainian Nazis whom he no doubt adores.
Maybe just parachute him into Gaza…then again, why waste good money on parachute silk?
That is one disgusting it,his not a human being
This simply echoes the USA State Dept official for Israel and Palestine, Stuart Seldowitz, who said, “4 thousand Palestinian children dead? Not enough. NOT ENOUGH!” Sadly, here no one has commented on the decades of wonderful and tireless anti-war work of CODEPINK women. They have demonstrated and petitioned legislators hundreds of times and have been arrested countless times. They have consistently, at great cost to themselves, exposed the cruelty and violence of the war-mongers as they havein this instance. They deserve acknowledgement and credit for their decades of effort.
Be patient, God is not dead, just taking its time, as usual. All evil acts will have a consequence, that is the universal law. The American Empire will also have its day, as did the Fall of the Roman Empire.
What if it was this Mast’s spawn? Would his tune change?
LONG LIVE RESISTANCE
LONG LIVE PALESTINE
He is a filthy little whore (no offense to sex workers) bastard for Israhell.
He is not sick, he is not psycho, he is an American soldier/military-man just like others and now he’s sitting in Congress but he’s (still) a soldier sitting in Congress, what do you expect from him?
Incitement to Genocide is crime.
When will Americans start to use their constitution and bill of rights to remove criminals from dominant position and to see the influence of the isreli lobbies as subversive and criminal foreigner entity to be neutralised and removed?
From the home of the brave to the one of the slaves to a foreigner entity?
Which one you choose?
Indict the sicko for racism, hate crimes, and incitement to commit genocide!
Truly the epitome of ignorance. On WW2 also. He has little idea what happened to people in Nazi Germany who tried to resist. He should read up on the White Rose group of students and professors in Germany…who were all hung for disseminating leaflets. Saying that Palestinians should elect a pro-Israeli government is like saying black slaves in the Caribbean and in the American colonies should be grateful to their slaveowners for the inhumane treatment. What this says about many American officials…and the electorate that puts them in power and isn’t beating down their doors now over this genocide in Gaza…is that we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel while pretending to be an enlightened democracy leading the world.
Mast, like Genocide Joe, knows that U.S. federal elections are not decided by the people. They are decided by a handful of Zionist billionaires who own the Democratic and Republican parties, buy the nominations and buy the elections. He knows what every American politician knows, and says what American politicians have to say to keep their jobs.
Western apathy towards the mass starvation and slaughter of helpless Palestinian civilians will undoubtedly only further fire long-held Middle Eastern anger collectively towards us.
Some countries’ actual provision, mostly by the U.S., of highly effective weapons used in Israel’s onslaught will likely turn that anger into lasting hatred always seeking eye-for-an-eye redress.
Meanwhile, with each news report of the daily Palestinian death toll from unrelenting Israeli bombardment, I feel a slightly greater desensitization and resignation. I’ve noticed this disturbing effect ever since I began regularly consuming news products in 1988. And I don’t think I’m alone in feeling this nor that it’s willfully callous.
It has long seemed to me as a news consumer that the value of a life abroad is typically perceived according to the abundance of protracted conditions under which it suffers, especially during wartime, and that this effect can be exacerbated when there’s also racial contrast. Therefore, when that life is lost, even violently, it usually receives lesser coverage.
Poor fool will burn in hell for a very long time.
