Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said the United States should not take in any Palestinian refugees if they flee the Gaza Strip because they “are all antisemitic” and he dismissed international entreaties for Israel to provide clean running water and utilities to the 2.3 million civilians in the territory.
DeSantis’ comments were a striking departure from the public stand taken by U.S. officials, including some of his fellow Republicans, who draw distinctions between the aims of the Palestinian people and those of Hamas. The militant group has ruled has Gaza since 2007 and launched an attack against Israel last weekend.
DeSantis’ endorsement of such tactics comes as he has advocated hard-line policies as a White House candidate. He suggested that not providing water or other services would persuade Hamas to release the hostages it has taken during its incursion

That’s why I put a question mark — my husband served with JAG and they were almost always placed in designated “safe” areas, away from action — but still, considering the circumstances, “safe” is a relative term. No idea where DeSantis was, but he did get a Bronze Star.

"You've cracked the code. These people do not want to have discussions, much less intelligent discussions."
I don't want to sound paranoid, but recently I feel FR has been infiltrated by people who post here simple to hurl insults and cause dissension rather than discussion.

"That said, there are also plenty of us who support Trump for Prez who not only don’t consider DeSantis the enemy, but like him quite a bit."
As a Floridian, I am one of those. The senseless attacks on DeSantis put me off Trump in anger for awhile, but I've cooled down and will vote for him in the primary.
