Republican Rep. Tim Walberg called on the U.S. to treat Gaza “like Nagasaki and Hiroshima” and to stop all humanitarian aid flowing into the war-torn Strip.
Speaking at a constituent event in Dundee, Michigan, Walberg said that any money being spent by the U.S. in the Middle East should go solely to Israel, which he called “our greatest ally, arguably, anywhere in the world.”
“We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid,” he said. “It – it should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick. The same – the same should be in Ukraine. Defeat Putin quick. Instead of 80 percent of our funding for Ukraine being used for humanitarian purposes.”
Nagasaki and Hiroshima were two Japanese cities which the United States dropped atomic bombs on in 1945, bringing World War II to a screeching end, with the Japanese surrendering in the face of the new weapons’ might.

That might apply in dealing with Iran (or Pakistan) -literally wiping them out in an extinction attacik. The Israelis are likely to be living next to the Arabs for a very long time, and therefore they need to find a solution by which the Arabs agree to peace (which many have – the problem is Arabs who support peace are routinely executed by their governments for being pro-peace).
The United States was prepared to occupy Japan in 1945 (which we did, in fact American occupation forces are still there, though in theory Japan is now an ally, though one wonders what would happen if Japan were to change sides and ally with China and Russia). Israel is not prepared to occupy the Arab world, and genociding your neighbor is somewhat awkward.
Yeah, who doesn’t love what happened to the people of those places back in 1945.
Huju,
That basically ended ww2
If you’re parents or grandparents were in the holocaust they loved it
