U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio isn't shying away from historical analogies comparing Israel's current enemies with the architect of one of the biggest genocides in human history.
Asked on Fox News Radio about the imminent Israeli incursion into Rafah in Southern Gaza, Florida's senior Senator likened the latest move in the war against Hamas to one of the most pivotal actions of World War II.
"Well, this is equivalent to saying to the Russians and the American and allied forces in World War II: 'Stop at the outskirts of Berlin. Don't go in. We know Adolf Hitler's in a bunker. We know that he has a gun in his mouth. We know that, but don't go in after Hitler, don't go destroy Berlin, don't go in,' because that's what they're basically asking Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israelis to do," Rubio told host Brian Kilmeade.
Rubio added that Hamas' "organizational purpose" is "to drive every Jew out of is of what we know is Israel to drive them out from the river to the sea, drive them out."
"They want no Jews in that area, and the destruction of the Jewish State," he added.
Israel has already ordered the evacuation of more than 100,000 Palestinians to a tent camp called Muwasi, a sign that the invasion will happen soon.
The Senator says the action must happen to finally destroy Hamas, "holed up in one small part of the, of Gaza and it's time to finish them off."
"That's where their top two leaders are as an example," Rubio said.
