“I would encourage the other side to not so lightly throw around the idea of ‘innocent Palestinian civilians,’ as is frequently said,” he said on the House floor.

“I don’t think we would so lightly throw around the term ‘innocent Nazi civilians’ during World War II.”

I’m not saying we should go back to representatives getting into physical brawls and duels, in fact it is a terrible idea. But some people clearly have just never faced consequences in the form of getting their ass kicked and it really shows.
