Michigan Congressman Tim Walberg says that the US should deal with Gaza like “we did with Hiroshima and Nagasaki”

Last week, during a town hall meeting with Congressman Tim Walberg, a Republican who represents the 5th District, he was asked about humanitarian aid to Gaza. Walberg’s response was harsh and revealed that he has any lack of understanding of US foreign policy. 

“Yeah. Um — It’s Joe Biden’s the reason: We need to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. I don’t think we should, I — I don’t think any of our aid that goes to Israel to support our greatest ally, arguably maybe in the world, to defeat Hamas and Iran and Russia and probably North Korea’s in there, and China too, with them in helping — helping — uh — uh, Hamas. Um, we shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid. It — it should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick.”

It is worth noting that in the 2022 Election, the single largest donor to his re-election campaign was the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which contributed $25,000 to Walberg. Other notable contributors, specifically the DeVos family, in the 2022 Election were:

• RDV Copr. – $23,200
• Windquest Group – $11,600
• Amway/Alticor – $7,000
• Amway Corp. – $5,800
• Dp Fox Ventures – $5,800
• Pamella Roland (wife of Doug DeVos) – $5,800
• Jerry & Marcia Tubergen Foundation (Jerry Tubergen is the CEO of RDV Corp.) – $4,750

This means that the DeVos family and their associates, collectively contributed $39,500 to a man who thinks that the current Israeli campaign of genocide that is happening in Gaza is not enough. Walberg believes, with AIPAC and DeVos funding, that the US should deal with Gaza the same way the US dealt with Hiroshima and Nagasaki…….drop a nuclear bomb.

Not only do these words from Rep. Walberg reflect a deep disregard for human life, it demonstrates that he doesn’t care about the likely consequences of sending a nuclear weapon to annihilate Gaza. Such an action on the part of the US would likely result in nuclear war with other nuclear powers.
