Graham stated in Tel Aviv on Monday, &#8216;I\u2019m back again. I come here every two weeks, whether it\u2019s needed or not!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Hunter posed a provocative question: &#8216;Really? Why don\u2019t you visit Charleston, Columbia, or Palmetto in America instead?&#8217;Criticizing Graham&#8217;s warlike policies Hunter highlighted that South Carolina has increased its contribution to deploying new military forces by 50% relative to its population. He raised concerns asking &#8216;Could American troops be targeted in the region? Absolutely. Graham is ready to sacrifice for Israel. He cares more about the lives of Israelis and the demands of Netanyahu than about American lives.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Hunter concluded with a pointed observation: &#8216;Isn\u2019t it strange for an American senator to travel to a foreign government every two weeks? This is not just my question.&#8217; Graham is recognized as one of the prominent supporters of the Israeli regime in the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A South Carolina journalist criticizes Senator Lindsey Graham&#8217;s hawkish policies, urging him to focus on the needs of the American people instead of his unwavering support for Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":578,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/578"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19821\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
