Franklin Graham: Israel To Blame For Attacks Because Citizens Aren’t ‘Forced To Carry’ Assault Rifles

As battles between Hamas terrorists and Israeli forces continue to rage in the streets of the Gaza Strip, noted fake Christian Franklin Graham is suggesting that Israel itself is partially to blame because it doesn’t require that all Israeli citizens carry assault rifles 24/7.

Appearing on a Newsmax show hosted by Greta Van Susteren, Graham was asked for his thoughts on the terrorist attacks that have left over 1,000 Israelis dead and many others missing or presumed taken hostage by militants.

“First, the Bible instructs us in Psalms 122 to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And I certainly am praying for the people, the Israelis,” Graham began. “I’m not praying for their enemies. I pray that God will give them victory over their enemies.”

Graham then compared gun laws in the United States with the laws in Israel.

“And so in this country, we have a right to protect ourselves [under the Second Amendment]. So you have a right to have a gun and protect yourself. In Israel, it’s difficult to get a gun permit.”

Then came his suggestion that it be mandatory for Israelis to lock and load at all times.

“But as far as having an assault rifle in your home or a shotgun or a hunting rifle, these things are very difficult. And you would think that Israel would require anyone living close to the border of Gaza to have weapons in their home and maybe even be forced to carry those weapons. And I just, for the life of me, I can’t understand what happened.”

After noting that he wanted to “put blame on the Biden administration and the Democratic Party” for withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan, which is nearly 2,000 miles from Israel, Graham concluded his demented ranting by saying only God can solve the problem.

“Only God can fix this and straighten it out. Our politicians are off-the-charts crazy, and I don’t understand it. But what you’re seeing in Israel could happen here one day, I’m afraid.”
