Seriously, do you expect me to keep quiet when a Jewish Republican can spew the vilest poison without any censure or reprimand? How the GOP can have the audacity to threaten students with deportation over speaking out against the genocide in Gaza is truly mind boggling. Even Tucker Carlson was left dumbfounded by the fact that he faced zero consequences for his unhinged behavior.
NUKE GAZA: Freshman GOP Rep. Randy Fine calls for “nuking” Gaza in an interview on Fox News.
“The fact of the matter is the Palestinian cause is an evil one,” he says, following last night’s deadly shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers who were outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington where an American Jewish Committee event was being held.
“The only end of the conflict [in Gaza] is complete and total surrender by those who support Muslim terror,” Fine says.
“In world war two, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender,” he says. “That needs to be the same here. There is something deeply, deeply wrong with this culture, and it needs to be defeated.” Times of Israel.
JUDENRAT: Randall Adam Fine (born April 20, 1974) is an American politician and former gambling industry executive who has served as the U.S. representative for Florida’s 6th congressional district since April 2025. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served in the Florida Senate from 2024 to 2025 and in the Florida House of Representatives from 2016 to 2024.
Fine was born in a Jewish family in Tucson, Arizona
In 2018, Fine demanded that venues in Miami and Tampa cancel scheduled concerts with the New Zealand singer Lorde because she had previously cancelled a concert in Israel after being urged to do so by activists from the BDS movement. According to Fine, letting Lorde play would violate an anti-BDS law that the state enacted in 2016.
In April 2019, Fine called Paul Halpern, a progressive Jewish constituent of his, a “Judenrat” for supporting an event that discussed the Israeli-Palestinian situation.
In May 2021, amid an ongoing crisis in Israel and Palestine, Fine made several posts and comments on his social media pages regarding Palestinians, including a celebration of the Israeli army’s bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Regarding the deaths of Palestinian children during the conflict, he said, “I don’t personally feel bad when human shields are killed”.
REGARDS FROM RANDY: In October 2023, Fine switched his endorsement in the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries from Ron DeSantis to Donald Trump over their reactions to antisemitism and the Gaza war. He lauded Trump for moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem, and for brokering a peace deal between Israel and two Arab countries.
On October 10, 2023, Fine arranged for “Regards from Randy Fine” to be written on an artillery shell to be fired on Gaza, and later arranged for messages on two more shells.
In November 2023, Fine voted against a Florida House of Representatives unsucessful resolution calling for a ceasefire in the ongoing Gaza war introduced by Angie Nixon, which only received two supporting votes, asserting that anyone who voted for the resolution was anti-Semitic and “putting every Jewish child in the state at risk.”
Fine called Ireland an “antisemitic country” after it recognized the State of Palestine in May 2024. He pledged to introduce a bill to ban Florida government entities from contracting with Irish, Norwegian, and Spanish companies, after the latter two countries also recognized Palestine.
When Governor DeSantis visited Ireland in August 2024 to attend the Florida State–Georgia Tech football game, Fine criticized the governor, saying, “I was certainly disappointed to see not only folks go to what is clearly an antisemitic country that supports Muslim terror, but I was also disappointed that the game wasn’t cancelled, which it should have been.”
FIRE AWAY: Following the killing of Turkish-American citizen Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi by the Israel Defense Forces in September 2024, Fine tweeted “Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerrorist. #FireAway,” drawing a call by the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, for the legislature to censure Fine.
In December 2024, Fine introduced a bill in the Florida Senate which would ban “flags with a political viewpoint” from being flown in Florida government buildings. He targeted the flag of Palestine, LGBTQ pride flags, and Black Lives Matter flags, though the bill itself does not specify those flags.
In a press release, he called Palestine a “fictional country,” referred to the Black Lives Matter movement as “pro-violence,” and repeatedly promoted the LGBTQ grooming conspiracy theory, writing, “Supporters of Muslim terror, child mutilators, and groomers have no right to taxpayer sponsorship of their repugnant messages.”
Fine planned to move to Israel along with his family had Kamala Harris won the 2024 United States presidential election.
After the remains of the kidnapped Bibas family mother and children were returned to Israel in February 2025, Fine claimed in a series of tweets that there was no such thing as innocent Palestinian civilians, called them “demons that live on Earth” who “deserve death,” and said that “Gaza must be destroyed.” The Council on American–Islamic Relations repeated its call for Fine to be censured in response.
Following the 2025 killing of Israeli embassy workers in Washington, D.C. during which the alleged shooter shouted “Free Palestine”, Fine called for nuclear weapons to be used in Gaza during an interview with Fox News. Fine said that “The Palestinian cause is an evil one … We nuked the Japanese twice [in World War II] in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here.” -Wiki
WHAT IS IT IF NOT A WAR CRIME? Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has blasted the country’s political leadership and the conduct of its military, telling CNN he is no longer able to defend Israel against accusations of war crimes.
Olmert, who led the country from 2006-2009, pointed to Israel’s 11-week blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza and the soaring number of Palestinians killed.
What is it if not a war crime?” he asked rhetorically in an interview with CNN. He said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right members of his government are “committing actions which can’t be interpreted any other way.”
Since the start of the war, Olmert has defended Israel abroad against accusations of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. When women and children were killed, Olmert said he told officials and interviewers that Israel would not deliberately target civilians.
But 19 months into a war Olmert says should have ended a year ago, he believes he can no longer make that case. CNN spoke to Olmert following the publication of an op-ed by the former prime minister that was published in Israel’s Haaretz newspaper on Tuesday, in which he wrote: “What we are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians.”
More than 54,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, including at least 28,000 women and children.
“I think that we have to make sure that no uninvolved people in Gaza are hurt because of the expansion of these military operations, which is entirely unjustified and doesn’t serve any important interests of the state of Israel at this point,” Olmert said.
“I hope that this government will disappear as soon as possible,” he told CNN. “I believe that the majority of Israelis are sick and tired of these policies, of these statements, of what the terrible damage that was caused by this government to the moral integrity of the state of Israel and the people of Israel.”
Polls in Israel have repeatedly shown that most of the country supports a comprehensive ceasefire agreement that would see the release of the remaining 58 hostages held in Gaza and an end to the war. But Netanyahu has refused to commit to an end to the war, insisting that Israel’s expanding military campaign in Gaza will continue until the defeat of Hamas.
Like the hostage families, many of whom have given up on Netanyahu, Olmert placed his hope in US President Donald Trump to end the war. Trump, he said, is one of the only people who has the ability to compel Netanyahu to end the war.
“I really certainly think that he is the only person perhaps that can force the Israeli prime minister to come to terms with reality and with the moral reality of what is being accomplished by this government,” he told CNN. By Oren Liebermann and Eugenia Yosef.
