Human rights defenders on Wednesday accused U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of “incitement to genocide” after the South Carolina Republican urged Israeli forces to destroy Gaza \u2013 and he wasn’t the only prominent GOP figure to make such an incendiary call.<\/p>\n

Appearing<\/a> on Fox News<\/em> on Tuesday night, Graham asserted that “we are in a religious war here, I am with Israel. Whatever the hell you have to do to defend yourselves; level the place.”<\/p>\n

In a social media post<\/a>, U.S. political analyst, author, and activist Josh Ruebner tagged the International Criminal Court with the caption, “ATTN… Incitement to genocide.”<\/p>\n

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham instructs US client Israel\u2014which it gives $3bn military aid every year\u2014to \u201clevel\u201d Gaza.<\/p>\n

Gaza is home to 2 million people, half of them children. <\/p>\n

This is open incitement to genocide on America\u2019s most watched news station. Radio Rwanda stuff. https:\/\/t.co\/S828gu3Y7r<\/a><\/p>\n
