Sen. Tom Cotton says Israel is 'fighting a war for survival against a terrorist group'

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who has been fiercely critical of the Biden administration's decision to pause a weapons shipment to Israel, tells "Face the Nation" that it is different from actions taken by President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s." "Israel is fighting a war of survival against a terrorist group that committed the worst atrocity against Jews since World War II," he added.

"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted Nov. 7, 1954, on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.

What risk is 🇮🇱 at right now?
Why did 🇮🇱 fund the terrorists?
Why did 🇮🇱 not protect civilians on oct7 if they knew over a year in advance about the incoming attack?

Wish tom cotton would show 50% of the amount of patriotism he has for israel for the US instead.

[missburn]

He is one of the Republicans who signed a letter to the ICC threatening them to not arrest Netanyahu.

[WishfulWanderers]

Just to remind everyone, this is the senator that doesn't understand the difference between Singapore and China.

Anything to fit his agenda is fair game.

[haniffrasheed-nprz]

He said trump would give Israel all the bomb they need and there would be less civilian deaths can someone tell me how does that work

[MrShibalba]

AIPAC money right here.

The nation can be held countable for the actions of its government as only the nation has the power to change its government.

[CHanksII]

If these politicians cared half as much for their OWN country and us Americans as they do for Israel, we would be in a way better place

[allegrap]

I’d be nice if elected American representatives focused on the problems in their districts

[keithpotts]

Hiding behind children/civilians has been what Hamas does. Israel has been giving notice the civilians that their aera was to be bombed. Hamas has been shooting the civilians that try to evacuate. Hamas has also been taking control of aid meant for civilians and selling said aid.

*What a bunch of BS*
Gas Lighting us all!

[kerrialexander]

No one is Pro Hamas, Sen Cotton. I’m not so sure you’re very pro America.

[timfify]

This guy is going down in history as a ghoual.

[LanglandsProgram]

Look at any set of historical maps (including the one held up by Netanyahu at the UN) and you will know which group is truly fighting for its survival.

[farissyed]

Such senators are the reason why america is in such a sorry state.

[noneshere]

Egypt just backed South Africa's International Court of Justice case against Israels genocide of Palestine.

[jesusavila]

Is it racist to say Cotton and Hawley I believe are the same person.? Look the same, talk the same, run the same, racist the same, insurrect the same. 🤪

[johnf]

How did he get into Harvard - this is a fill in the blanks “ “.😮

[kbram]

How about Israel send the USA tax payer $400 billion for a change. Mean while we are $34 trillion in debt and congress is talking about tinkering with social security. Vote these clowns out of office from both parties. America First! These people have lost their minds

[mehrdadsaberi]

They asked the wolf who is your witness, he said its my tail.

[kayeroskaft]

This man is unable to see anything wrong on Israel’s actions. That is unfortunate.
