Why aren’t the Professorship, U.S. Senate, and 2016 presidential campaign sections nestled under the ‘Career’ section? They’re all a part of his career, and the ‘Professorship’ section is quite small. They should be wrapped up under ‘Career’. —2601:8C0:380:35C0:9C71:84FA:BABD:1934 (talk) 19:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rubio condemned Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel and expressed his support for Israel and its right to self-defense.[264] When asked specifically about avoiding civilian casualties in Gaza, Rubio said Israel cannot coexist "with these savages…. They have to be eradicated."[265]
I think that with the way it is now it can be implied that by "savages" Rubio means civilians, which obviously he didn't mean, he meant Hamas. It's just half a quote, no context. Dally87 (talk) 19:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's even worse than I thought- they don't even mention the actual question that Tapper asked Rubio. They just wrote "On CNN, Marco Rubio responded to a question from Jake Tapper about civilian casualties in Gaza". Really, how can you prove what he meant like this? That's terrible journalism etiquette on behalf of The Nation magazine.
So I went ahead and found the full interview, here is the part that touches on Rubio's opinion on Hamas and whether Israel can co-exist with this terrorist organization:
“I don’t think there’s any way Israel can be expected to coexist or find some diplomatic off-ramp with these savages. These are people who deliberately targeted teenage girls, women, children, and the elderly, not just for rape and murder, but for then dumping their bodies off in the streets of Gaza, where the crowds can defile their lifeless bodies. These are just horrifying things, and I don’t think we know the full extent of it yet. There’s more to come in the days and weeks ahead.
“You can’t coexist [with Hamas]. They have to be eradicated. This is going to be incredibly painful. It’s going to be incredibly difficult, and it’s going to be horrifying, the price to pay. But even more horrifying is allowing a group like this to continue to be a viable group operating from a space that they control. I don’t see any other option. It’s a terrible option, but it remains the only option.
“I think the blame will squarely be on Hamas for using people, human beings, as they have for a long time, the way Hezbollah does, as shields. They deliberately put their missile launchers and their headquarters near places they know where civilians are going to be. Israel is in a very difficult spot here with no great options, but only one option that actually serves their national interest. I just don’t see any other way forward. I hate to say it, but that’s just the case.”
Here is the link to the interview on YouTube, this part starts at around 2:18 minutes.
"Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous."
I would say that this part is very poorly sourced and definitely potentially libelous. So can we adhere to the guidelines and remove it? Dally87 (talk) 15:31, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
