US congressman suggests dropping nuclear bombs on Gaza: It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima
Michigan congressman Tim Walberg suggested that nuclear weapons should be dropped on Gaza, which his office said was a metaphor to “support Israel’s swift elimination of Hamas”.
“It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick,” Walberg says in a video circulating on social media, referencing the Japanese cities that the US dropped atomic bombs on at the end of World War 2.
Responding to a question about the US's plans to build a floating pier off the coast of Gaza to deliver aid, Walberg also said the US "shouldn't be spending a dime on humanitarian aid."
In a video posted to social media in which Walberg can be heard but not seen, the congressman responded to a question from a constituent about why the US was using American dollars to build a temporary pier to provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
“I don’t think we should,” Walberg said of getting further humanitarian aid into Gaza, where the UN has warned famine is imminent in the north and said 70% of the population is already suffering from catastrophic levels of hunger. “We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid.”
He continued: “It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick.”
Walberg spokesman Mike Rorke said the eight-term congressman’s answer was in direct response to a question about American troops being deployed into Gaza to build a port to send aid to Palestinians.
“Congressman Walberg vehemently disagrees with putting our troops in harm’s way. He has great empathy for the innocent people in Gaza who have been thrust into this situation due to the attack carried out by Hamas leaving 1,163 innocent civilians dead,” Rorke said. “To this day, Hamas still is holding hostages, including Americans. Hamas should surrender and return the hostages.”
Walberg’s public calendar shows he had a “community gathering to meet with constituents” on the morning of March 25 at the Dundee village hall.
